George Perry, the head male soccer coach at Monmouth College and organizer of its intramural sports is asking all MC students to get out, be active, and enroll in the intramural sports that Monmouth College has to offer.

Currently in February 2008, the intramural sports that are going on are a Men’s 5-on-5 tournament and a women’s 3-on-3 tournament.

This spring is going to bring 4-on-4 soccer, flag football, co-ed volleyball, badminton, bags, and Frisbee golf that Perry and those involved in intramural sports are very excited about. But they don’t plan on being content with the sports that the campus offers now. They want the campus to look out for billiards, ping-pong and chess tournaments that are coming to Monmouth in the future.

Perry is very excited about where the intramural sports are going on campus and noted that co-ed volleyball gets the highest attendance, but basketball is doing very well right now. He also noted that he looks for the Scots Day softball tournament to draw in big participation as it has in the past. He says that the future looks bright for intramural sports on Monmouth College soil especially with the excitement being drawn in by the up and coming men’s and women’s division flag football tournament that will be taking place in the spring.

Perry is working hard to get the intramural sports off on the right foot, and he is asking Monmouth students to come out and get involved.

Watch for the flyers posted all over campus and the e-mails that will be sent out to each student when the dates are set for each of the sports. After you get the information, you need to go to the Monmouth Website and go to Recreation and Fitness, then click on Intramural Sports on the side. At that site, it lists all of the intramural sports that take place year-round and there is information and a link to sign your team up.

Perry suggests that you follow these instructions and get a team together.

“It’s an opportunity to participate with your friends, keep active, take a break from the school work and hopefully to get to meet some new friends,” Perry said.

      Also if you have any suggestions, new activities, or comments, Perry encourages you to send it his way. “This is a student program and their involvement is what makes it work so any suggestions are certainly welcome.”
