IM Sports

Joining an intramural (IM) sport is one of the best things that you can do when coming to college. You have the opportunity to meet so many other people from different majors and backgrounds. It is a great way to bond and make lifelong friends. Exercise is also extremely important to keep a focused mind, so IM sports really help! If you are looking for a workout partner, someone on your IM team is probably a great prospect. If you are looking for something less competitive you can always join a recreational (rec) team rather than a competitive team. A common misconception is that you have to have experience in a certain sport to play on a team, but that is simply untrue. If you are feeling unconfident about your skills, joining a rec team is perfect to get better before joining a competitive team. Not having enough time can also be a concern, but that can be easily addressed. As long as you notify your teammates that you might not be able to make all of the games and there are enough players on your team to still play, most people will not mind at all. I am currently on a sand volleyball team and am having a great time! It has been a great way for me to get my mind off classes and to have some fun.
