Be Active; Campus Rec center offers a sport for all who seek it ...

Posted on Aug 16, 2012 in Sports

Want to compete? Intramurals gives you the opportunity to do so while also helping to blow of stress as you stay active. Get involved in popular sports like soccer, basketball, volleyball, golf, flag football and softball or pick up a new sport you haven?t tried. Intramurals also offers lesser known sports such as water polo, dodge ball, ESPN fantasy football, racquetball and table tennis.

This year, two new sports in floor hockey, as shown in the Olympics, and sand volleyball have added to the fun.

UAB Campus Recreational Center

Intramurals is more than just competition. It is a great place to meet people while staying active, according to Intramural Director Charles Judkins.

?It?s a good form of exercise and competition,? he said.

Jeff Logsdon, a graduate assistant, said his favorite part of intramurals is the interaction he has with everyone.

?Intramurals gives you the unique opportunity to meet every type of person on a college campus: Greeks, students, faculty and staff.?

Intramurals also offers tournaments like March Madness, Poker tournaments and Wii bowling. Intramural Battleship will be a new big event this year located in the recreation center pool.

UAB has also added a new studio room with TRX equipment that will allow for more Ufit classes. Ufit is another recreation center program that offer fitness classes. Another progam to checkout while in the recreation center is the Outdoor Pursuits program, which gives students the chance to pack up and take to nature on treks and experience white-water rafting.
