South plans full semester of intramural activities
by Brian Wainstein, Reporter

    South Campus has a new sports schedule for the spring semester.

    First signups for South Campus activities started as early as Jan. 22, for the Campus Recreational and Intramural Sports (CRIS) Century Club.

    Other sports events will begin in February.

    The Century Club's motto is "Get Fit for the Health of It," and the group encourages South Campus students, faculty and staff to pursue aerobic exercise.

    The club employs an incentive-based program to encourage participants to succeed. Participants monitor how many miles they walk, run, or climb on the Stairmaster during free play and open recreation.

    Officials set mileage goals for participants, who can win prizes if they meet their goals. Once signed up, participants can carry mileage over semesters during an academic year, as long as they remain in credit classes or year-round community education programs.

    Other activities planned for the semester include indoor soccer and racquetball tournaments, with sign-ups starting Feb. 10 and play commencing Feb. 12; a table-tennis tournament, with sign-ups starting Feb. 17 and play commencing Feb. 19.

    Also scheduled is "March Madness," basketball, involving a free-throw and three-point shoot-out, with sign ups starting March 17 and play beginning March 24; and 4-on-4 volleyball, with sign-ups starting March 31 and play commencing April 2.

    Details regarding "March Madness," the second annual free-throw contest and first three-point shoot-out, celebrating the NCAA's college basketball tournaments, will be available closer to sign-ups. For any questions, contact Scott J. Clark, CRIS director, at 817-515-4543.
