Fall intramural sports season ready to begin

A new school year. A new season. A new sport for intramurals!

Registration is now open for the fall season through Tuesday, Sept. 11, featuring eight sports including basketball, flag football and sand volleyball. New this year is archery tag.

“If I were to describe it, I would say it’s a combination of paintball and dodgeball,” said Tony Dreckman, director of intramural sports. “… but with a bow and arrow.”

Archery tag is played 5 vs. 5 co-ed teams as a league. Dreckman tries to add non-traditional sports that give students a chance to feel more comfortable knowing other students who are trying something new as well.

“Best part about being in intramurals is getting out of your comfort zone,” said Michelle Durante, a sophomore, intramural soccer. “Intramural sports allow you to play your favorite sport with no pressure put onto it.”

According to George Meyers, a senior, intramural softball, “Intramural sports allows you to enjoy sports with a little bit of competition and a fun nature along with it.”

“There is always a healthy ‘fun-first’ mentality that came along with it,” Meyers said. “Students who are involved in intramural sports say it has made their college experiences as memorable as possible. There are many benefits along with intramural sports”.

When being involved in intramural sports students have found that you develop new skills such as communication working with other teammates and take it as a learning experience, according to Rhasan Scales, junior flag football.

Junior, flag football player Rhasad Scales added, “You get familiar with working together with people who are not the same race, ethnicity or background, skills, abilities or talents as you.”

“With intramural sports, some may become more competitive than others can.” Rhasan  Scales said, “I’d be lying if I said it does not get competitive, being involved in flag football it gets real competitive and fun.”

Sports available for registration this fall:

Archery Tag

3-On-3 Men’s Basketball

3-On-3 Women’s Basketball

Flag Football

Sand Volleyball

Men’s Soccer

Women’s Soccer

Softball

Welcome, CUIM Sports alumni!

Hello Alumni,

It has been quite a while, we imagine, since you have heard from us at Intramural Sports.  It is easy for us to get caught up in the intramural seasons, and with personnel changes, much can get lost in each new iteration of our program.  As the newest Director of Intramural Sports, even I have been caught up with learning the Cornell system and how to proceed with the implementation of our activities. Now that we have a better feel of how to move through the semesters, we want to turn our attention to a topic that we feel needs addressed.

You, our alumni.

As I remember my time with intramural sports at my undergraduate institution with the fondest of memories, I can easily remember working with some of the kindest, most energetic, and let’s face it… most outlandish personalities within the office and department.  I know there must be times where you think back to your involvement with intramural sports and reminisce about co-workers, professional staff, and the craziest (and fun) moments of intramural sports.  We know those memories of coming into Barton Hall, Teagle Pool, Jessup Fields, Helen Newman Hall, ANY place that supported our intramural sports program, and putting forth the highest quality of effort, ownership, and care to make sure activities ran as effortlessly as possible still ringing in your mind from time to time, and we want to recognize that.

Day in and day out, your work with intramural sports allowed thousands of participants to add quality to their Cornell experience through physical activity and social interaction. Many of you even participated in our programming, building intramural supervisor teams and forging bonds with your fellow supervisors during your time with our department.  The connections you have created with each other not only helped create an inviting atmosphere at the venues, but also outside of intramural sports and into your daily lives.  Your co-workers were often times also your best friends, and many of the memories you have created at Cornell involve those people.  It made the work in intramural sports meaningful, important, and most of all, fun.

The groundwork you all have laid for future supervisors, officials, and participants of intramural sports has not been forgotten.  It is still very much alive today, and though it may not look exactly like it did when you were with our program, it still thrives in the work and quality put forth by today’s staff.  This newsletter is our way of showing you that the care and love you put into our intramural sports program is stronger than ever.  

The next time you are on campus, or when the spirit moves you, get in touch with us.  Plant your feet on Jessup Fields, walk inside Barton Hall, and step into our office at Helen Newman Hall.  Stop by, call, or email and tell us your intramural stories, no matter how wild they are.  We all know it is part of the experience and tradition of Cornell University Intramural Sports.  

Thank you for being part of the intramural sports family, and thank you for your past dedication and continued support.

Scott Flickinger Robert D. Kennedy ’54 Director, Intramural Sports Cornell University
