A new era has begun for intramural sports at the University of Idaho, with the school year in full swing. With school starting, so does the fun of intramural sports. For the sports loving students at UI, intramurals can be a fun time to play a lot of different sports and new Coordinator of the Intramural and Youth Programs, Peyton Teevens, is excited about the new school year and the new things she has planned for intramurals.
“I’m very excited. We want everybody to come and play intramurals, like, there’s a space for everyone. I truly believe that I’m looking to add different sports and tournaments and things like that, more towards the end of the semester in spring. to hopefully help,” Teevens said.
“It doesn’t have to be super competitive. Either a lot of people look and see it’s only for Greek life, or it’s too competitive for me, things like that. That’s kind of the narrative I want to change,” Teevens said. “I want to kind of come back to being a more…fun and social atmosphere for people, like you can get that competitive aspect if you want, right? Kind of a choose your own path.”
Session one of the intramurals is already in session. However, the next session’s registration, which includes kickball, ultimate frisbee, spikeball, volleyball, co-rec soccer and dodgeball, opens Oct. 13 and closes on Oct. 26.
Students can register either as a team or as a free agent on Imleagues.com for free, and if they have any questions, they can contact Teevens at [email protected].
