As you may have noticed as you have passed by Ferrin, there is a new Ultimate Frisbee league on campus. Games take place from 5-7 p.m. on the Ferrin Field. Individuals from every hall affiliation are taking part in the first-year league.
The league was formed in response to last year’s REC-IM survey. As the REC-IM staff reviewed the results of the survey, it was clear that students were in agreement that Ultimate Frisbee was a necessary sport for REC-IM to host. After consultation with the incoming staff, REC-IM felt that it would in fact enhance the program here on campus. Though REC-IM usually first incorporates a new event as a tournament, it was unanimously decided that due to the demand from students, it would be best if it were immediately turned into a league. There was no surprise to the REC-IM staff, then, when the league attracted 15 teams.
The league opened on April 7, and teams will continue regular season play until Thursday, May 1. The following week, all of those teams qualifying for playoffs will make their run at the championship, an event tentatively scheduled for May 8.
Indoor Soccer along with Ultimate Frisbee are the two main events currently being hosted by REC-IM. For all of the latest information on REC-IM, stay tuned to the REC-IM website, http://www.gordon.edu/intramurals. ◊
