All students interested in flag football and soccer are invited to meet 6-10 p.m. Wednesdays and 1-4 p.m. Saturdays for free play at Frank Nelson Park, 4105 W. 23rd St., through an agreement with the City of Panama City.
For some UCLA students, watching football at the Rose Bowl is enough. For some, playing intramural flag football is enough. But for a few UCLA football enthusiasts, extramural flag football allows them to get down and dirty against other schools without the rigor of playing at the club or NCAA level.
Migdal and his teammates plan on using the upcoming Sports Jamboree where all the athletic organizations of UCLA Recreation set up tables on the IM field to recruit new students to gauge student interest in the idea. For now, however, they are just focusing on refining their game should the idea become a reality.

A sport club is defined as a registered student organization which exists to promote and develop interest in a particular sport or physical activity. These interests can be competitive, recreational, or instructional in nature. Clubs may represent the university in intercollegiate competition or conduct intra-club activities such as practice, instruction, social and tournament play. Sport clubs are student initiated and student managed. Involvement in a sport club enhances the students' college experience and contributes to the students' overall education.
Assistant Director of Recreational Programs Carlos (C.J.) Molina announced in an email March 24 that Colgate Intramural (IM) would follow in line with courses, transitioning to an online format as a substitute to the traditional competitions held on campus. Esports, or gaming, will be the replacement and a list of several video games will be offered including FIFA 20, NBA2K20, Mario Kart, League of Legends, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Super Smash Bros. and more. Competition style will range from tournaments to leagues and interested students must register before midnight on March 27.
Molina said he is happy to offer Colgate students an opportunity to enjoy the experience of gaming for sport and to reconnect with classmates from a distance. He said that the Recreational Program may have more events and ideas in store; the creativity is just beginning for the future of intramural esports at Colgate.
Based out of Mercy Manhattan they are members of the East Coast Conference and they compete in Overwatch during the fall semester and League of Legends during the Spring semester. No experience is necessary and any student who is interested in esports is encouraged to join us!
Esports offer a unique pathway to encourage interest in STEM fields such as programming, graphic design, networking, and video game design. Research suggests that gamer students are primed to pursue STEM in college and careers. Other fields in esports include marketing, broadcasting (streaming/shoutcasting), economics, and coaching. Essentially, if there is a complementary field in traditional sports, there is a comparable one in esports.
Unfortunately, most PCs in the school were phased out for adoption of Chromebooks. The esports league I joined would therefore require students to compete from their own devices on their own time at home. I called and emailed several leagues before deciding to join the High School Esports League, because they allowed students to play in large tournaments from home.
Very few students were willing and/or able to pay the $15 registration fee to participate in HSEL tournaments, along with the fact that gamers in my club felt overwhelmed and inferior when considering a large tournament existed as another obstacle. I discovered that students were less interested in large national play than smaller local play. This year, I have focused on developing a Smash Brothers Ultimate intramural tournament and putting together a team to compete in a live, local Black Ops 4 (BO4) tournament. Both promise high interest and no cost.
Is esports right for your campus? Send your student body a survey asking about gaming and esports. Find out how many students play video games and which games are most popular. Then, ask whether survey participants would be interested in intramural league-style play (like what exists on campus for basketball or soccer).
Colleges and universities offer a wide range of options for students looking to play sports. In theory, you can play as an up-and-coming all-star on a Division 1 team or with some friends in an intramural league. But many students feel confused over the different levels of college sports, so we'll explain them now.
Colleges provide many opportunities for students to play sports while studying for a degree. The sports range from low-pressure intramural sports to super-competitive NCAA Division 1 sports. Here are the need-to-know differences between the three sporting options.
College intramural sports are great for students with little free time, a small budget, or the goal of having fun while staying active. They don't require attendance at every game, and you won't have to travel for away games either. The biggest out-of-pocket cost for students is usually a small fee to form a team.
Club teams are more competitive and require tryouts to join. Club sports teams may be organized by different academic schools within the college, fraternities/sororities, housing units, and various interest clubs or groups. If you end up on a team, you'll work with other skilled student-athletes and a coach. Schools tend to sponsor club teams- but not always.
Most students say playing an intramural sport while still juggling their college classes is easy. You might have team practice a couple of times a week and a game a week. But, of course, it depends on the sport, your team's level of competitiveness, the season, and your course load. More competitive teams will require a more significant time investment.
Yes. Theoretically, you can work with an intramural sports team. But it's always a good idea to talk to some team members to gauge their level of competitiveness. It also helps to know the game and the team size so you can assess how much playing time you'll get.
Senior year is the time when college coaches want to get athletes on campus for unofficial and official visits. Coaches want to ask prospective recruits questions (and vice versa) to learn more about them and gauge their interest in their program.
Science Olympiad is a nonprofit organization devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers. These goals are accomplished through classroom activities, research, training workshops and the encouragement of intramural, district, regional, state and national tournaments. The USGS partners with the Groundwater Foundation and other agencies and organizations to help make Science Olympiad events possible. The NYWSC has coached students in the Awesome Aquifer activity at the middle school regional competition.
Martial Arts and Grappling Interest Club (MAGIC) was founded to provide resources and instruction for students interested in practicing grappling-based martial arts such as judo and BJJ. Students of all levels are welcome to check out mats for practice or participate in intro workshops throughout the year with topics including self-defense, throws, trips, and mat work.
Our group aims to familiarize interested medical students with common medical Chinese phrases and current cultural issues with the goal of improving cultural sensitivity and gaining the capacity to converse more easily with Chinese-speaking patients.
Peers Advocating Wellness are medical and graduate school students who volunteer to provide an empathetic, non-judgmental ear to their peers and maintain strict confidentiality. We come from different racial, economic, and ethnic backgrounds and pursue different interests and goals, live in different places, and engage in different educational tracks at WCM. Each volunteer has received extensive training and practice in a client-centered counseling style called motivational interviewing. You guide the conversation with whatever is on your mind and we will never criticize or pass judgment.
SHAIP (Students in Healthcare Advocating for Incarcerated Persons) is a student-led group that seeks to help educate the Weill Cornell Medicine community about criminal justice issues and its intersections with healthcare, to work with incarcerated and reentering persons, and to expose interested members of the institution to innovations in various areas of clinical practice and research related to correctional health. Our student group aims to pursue these goals through education, programming, and research. 2ff7e9595c
