There are 45 other intramural sports and activities students can sample, from racquet ball and water polo, to ping-pong and dodge ball, to a golf scramble and sideline “rock, paper, scissor” contests.
“We target all different types of people, you don’t have to be a superstar to participate,” Shelby noted.
According to Shelby total active participation in intramurals was 3,200 during the 2008-09 academic year . But active participation isn’t the full story about intramurals: during fall semester 2009 there were 7,500 “inactive” participants – i.e. spectators, friends and evil spies from other teams – who were attracted to intramural activities.
In addition, intramurals provide student job opportunities, from being a scorekeeper to officiating games.
“There is a lot of student life opportunity,” Shelby said. “There are a lot of chances to get involved.”

Next year I vow better coverage of intramurals some way or another.
