Intramurals

So it is time again for intramurals, and I am so excited. After winning that shirt last year, I'm hoping for at least 2 repeats this summer. I have like 7 chances to win one. So let's hope it works out for me.
Intramurals is one of the great things about living in a BYU ward still. Pick up games are always fun, but with intramurals you are always at least 95% sure that you will have a game to play with full teams. There are a few downsides to intramurals however, one being that not all of the refs, umps, etc are good. In fact, many of them are quite terrible. Now I know it can be difficult to ref or ump, I've done both in my life, but seriously, at least listen to what the players have to say. Especially in intramurals where the rules are always strange and something is always bound to go wrong or be misunderstood.
In the end though, intramurals are just fun. It's fun to play sports with other people who want to play. It's nice to run hard, kick hard, swing hard, throw hard, whatever your sport of choice may be. Intramurals is one way to do that. So for all you who enjoy a little healthy competition and a good sweat. Sign up. It's game time!
