If high-pressure competition is not your idea of fun, then maybe intramural sports is the activity for you. Intramural athletics at Cabrini allows students to play against their fellow classmates and friends in a more laid-back atmosphere than traditional college sports.
The spring intramural season is under way, and it gives those interested many options to choose from.
Here is what is offered this season:
Squash will be played Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to7 p.m.
Indoor coed soccer will take place Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
On Thursday nights there is three-on-three half-court basketball. Sign up before Feb. 8 to join.
Pick-up volleyball will happen Sundays from 9 to 11 p.m. and is open to students, faculty and staff. There is no deadline to join.
One new feature this season is the coed swim club that meets Tuesdays at 8 p.m. The club will do various workouts together. Colleen Poole, aquatics director, will post a workout schedule for those who want to workout independently. “The club is open to anyone and you do not have to be a great swimmer to join,” Poole said. One goal of the coed swim club is to gather a group of swimmers from Cabrini to participate in open water swims across the country. These take place in various oceans and rivers.
In March, tennis, beach volleyball and Ultimate Frisbee will be added to the intramural lineup.
Chris Winkler, facility manager at the Dixon Center, believes students really enjoy intramural sports because there is not as much pressure to perform. “People enjoy the fact that it is a laid-back atmosphere, and they have a chance to have a good time with their friends,” Winkler said.
If you are interested, sign up now at the Dixon Center front desk. For more information contact Winkler at 225-3909 or at dixonrec@cabrini.edu.
