Sports Opportunities at Idaho State

Dimery Plewe Sports Editor

If you want to stay in shape, meet new people, be part of a team, or even just relive your glory days, Idaho State Intramurals are a great way.

Intramural sports are available for all levels, beginner to advanced, and in multiple sports; volleyball, basketball, softball soccer, ultimate frisbee and jousting are only a few of the sports offered at Idaho State.

The intramural sports at Idaho State offer male female and coed opportunities to any age.

If you have a group of friends, you can register together. If you want to meet new people one can also register as an individual to get placed on a team.

Depending on the stage of your team, competitions such as five on five basketball are organized by campus recreation.

To get more information on sports and schedules offered by Idaho State University, visit imleague.com/isu. This is also where you can sign up as a team or individual for an intramural league.

If you and your team or friends are looking for more serious competition or organization, the sports clubs at Idaho State are still student run, but may offer intercollegiate competitions as well as organized practices.

Some active clubs on Idaho State University’s campus are baseball, rugby, cycling, spike ball and sports shooting.

Most clubs offer competition at a less strenuous level than the university sponsored Varsity sports, or exist as a club because Idaho State does not offer them as a Varsity sport.

The Idaho State Sports clubs are available to all part or full-time students at the university. Some exceptions may be made by the Sports Club Director.

For information on existing Sports Clubs at Idaho State visit imleague.com/ isu. If you have a talent for another sport that is not offered, it is a simple process to begin your own Sports Club. The process begins at the same website: imleague. com/isu.

If both of these options seem a little intense or time consuming, it is possible to take a physical activity class through Idaho State University for credit. The courses are listed under Physical Education Activity (PEAC) in the course catalog. These courses have an instructor to help individuals acquire skills.

Many of the courses are offered at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Whether a student comes in with experience or wants to work up through the levels, the courses are an opportunity to grow and meet new people.

Physical Education Activity classes range from yoga, to cardio, to fly fishing, to golf, to skiing and hiking. The former offer trips and excursions through the class.

These classes are a place to hone in skills or meet people to start an intramural team or sports club.

For information on offered PEAC courses visit Idaho States course catalog or isu. edu/hppss.physical-education-activity-courses-peac/.

No matter your time constraints or skill level, Idaho State University offers sports opportunities for everyone. All of these opportunities are a great way to be physically active and involved on campus.
