Fun and Fitness: Fun is the name of the game in Athletics
As exciting as it is to enter a new
school, it can also be a little intimidating
when you have yet to make
new friends. Of course, one of the
easiest ways to get around this is
by joining some extramural activities.
Since I work at the Fitness
Centre, I feel obligated to ensure
that every student is aware of the
Athletics department Intramural
Program. We're getting geared up
for the 2012/13 intramural season,
and we even have a new sport
being added to the mix!
Fanshawe intramurals are a recreational service provided by Fanshawe's Athletic department. In a nutshell, there are various sports that people sign up for in order to compete against other teams throughout the school year. Fanshawe is well aware that not everyone is interested in trying out for Varsity school sports, which require a great deal of commitment. Therefore, the intramural program was created in order to serve even the casual sports enthusiast's needs.
During the Fall semester, five-on- five basketball, three-pitch softball, men's and women's volleyball and co-ed flag football are all offered. There are even extramural- intramural sports offered, such as men's and women's ice hockey. The ice hockey teams actually compete against other colleges, so not only is it a great deal of fun, there is also lot of Fanshawe Falcon pride involved!
New to the mix by popular demand is cricket! Cricket has become extremely popular throughout the last school year so we decided it was a no-brainer to implement.
Be sure to head to the J building and visit the Athletics department desk. You can find information sheets with all the due dates. You can pick up registration sheets for your sport of choice and begin recruiting your team by befriending your classmates! Also keep in mind that anyone can be on your team, as long as they're Fanshawe students.
Sign-up deadlines vary for each sport since they run at different times in the fall semester, so act fast and visit the Athletics department to ensure you don't miss your specific registration deadline. Be sure to bring a copy of your class timetable as the Athletic Department will work their hardest to schedule your games around class time.
The winter semester offers a variation of sports as well, but we will get to that when the time comes. In the meantime, start making new friends and get that team ready for action!
