Fall ‘09 Campus Recreation Overview

August 24 marked the opening day of Boise State University’s registration for fall intramural sports.

Full-time and part-time students, faculty, staff, spouses, dependants and alumni may compete in any of the intramural sports by becoming a member. According to the Boise State Intramural Sports Coordinator Jared Cox, any full-time student is automatically a member. All others are welcomed for a nominal fee.

Sand volleyball, tennis and flag football will be starting soon. Registration for these events lasts until Sept. 8. For a complete list of intramural sports and registration deadlines, stop by Campus Recreation or go online to www.rec.boisestate.edu.

Registration for this year’s toilet bowl, co-ed, flag football tournament opens Sept. 8. Registration is free for the first 16 teams. Bring out the A-squad and dust off those playbooks. With sign-ups ending Sept. 21, don’t get stuck on the sidelines. This free, single-elimination tournament will begin play Monday, Sept. 28 at Bronco Stadium. All students and faculty are encouraged to attend. For more information contact Cox at Campus Recreation.

Head down to the Campus Recreation rental shop. Experience the largest, all-season, rental operation in southwest Idaho and let the experienced rental staff fit you for all your outdoor needs, including river, snow, trail and leisure activities.

The Outdoor Adventure Program at BSU has more than 30 outdoor trips scheduled. Trips can be scheduled through introduction to kayaking. No experience is needed.

Test your ability with advanced climbing at the City of Rocks. Relax and find your chi with a full-moon hike or women’s yoga backpacking. Learn to splint the leg of your accident-prone but adventurous buddy with wilderness first aid. Let it all slip away with a soak in the hot springs or plan a fully customized guided experience. The Outdoor Adventure program is ready to take boredom to the hurt locker.

Boise State has a healthy diversity of Club sports to offer. The instructors of Club sports are life-long players, experienced, knowledgeable and are prepared to offer you first-rate instruction. With clubs like Judo, Kung Fu and boxing, having experienced staff members is a good thing.

“The (School) board is going to want to know who is teaching our students to punch each other in the face, safely,” said Boise State intramural and club sports assistant director Alain Rodriquez.

Students can rest assured they are in good hands. With clubs like ice hockey, rodeo and rugby there will be ample opportunity for a blackened eye. A missing tooth or bloody nose can be made available, with or without a sparring partner. There is also the opportunity to start your own club or organization.

Campus Recreation offers a wide range of Instructional Fitness Programs including endurance rides, self-defense classes, emergency medical classes, indoor climbing gym, massage and more.
