Tuesday kicked off the beginning of the Fall 2018 intramural sports season. The three—day Corn Hole tournament is taking place in the Quad, and the championship match will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 6.

Intramurals bring out the best competitive attitudes of Georgetown students, as well as create an atmosphere of team building, cooperation and friendship.

Intramural sports during the fall and spring semester seemingly take hold of a majority of students’ evening time. Most indoor sports are played from 8 – 11 p.m. in the Rec Center, and most outdoor sports are played from 4 – 7 p.m. at the intramural field behind Hambrick Village.

Upcoming fall intramural sports are outdoor soccer, flag football, tennis, indoor volleyball and three versus three basketball. Popular spring sports are basketball, indoor co–ed volleyball and indoor soccer.

To compete in most sports, a paper roster must be completed and turned into intramural sports supervisors or LeRon Collier, Assistant Dean of Students. From there, game rules and regulations are explained to team captains, and a game schedule is made. After some weeks of “regular season” play, teams are ranked according to record and placed in a playoff bracket.

Fraternities and sororities are able to compete for the Intramural Championship; they are awarded points for their finishing place in each sport.

Team entry forms can be found on the GC Student Portal under the Departments > Student Life tab.

In addition to participating in intramurals, students have the opportunity to serve as intramural referees. Intramural referees are paid hourly and can choose which sports they would like to officiate.

If anyone is interested in becoming an intramural referee or intersted in joining a team, they can contact Collier via email at LeRon_Collier@ georgetowncollege.edu.
