Although athletic teams will not compete against other schools this fall, the Student Recreation Center’s intramural sports offerings will continue.
A variety of sports will be available to students, staff and faculty interested in participating under the new COVID-19 guidelines.
These guidelines include mandatory face coverings during and after competition, using hand sanitizer before and after competition, disinfecting equipment before and after competition as well as during breaks, providing a delay between games to allow for cleaning and more.
Patrons can compete once they fill out an entry form and online waiver, both available on the SRC website. Some sports also require a fee as part of the application, though prices vary by sport.
Competition is available for kickball, wiffle ball, cornhole, tennis, frisbee golf, team tennis and spikeball for the fall. The earliest deadline for entries is Sept. 1, for kickball and wiffle ball participants.
The kickball league will compete round-robin style, with a single-elimination post-season tournament. Play will begin Sept. 8 in the Kibbie Dome.
Wiffle ball follows some of the same entry guidelines and play style as kickball, although wiffle ball will begin Sept. 9 in the SRC Gold Gym. Kickball offers a co-ed league, but wiffle ball will only offer men’s and women’s teams.
More details on kickball and wiffle ball will be available after the captains’ meetings Sept. 2. Information on these and other intramural sports can be found on the SRC website.
