Aggie Intramural Sports Highlight

By Malina Lindstrom, student writer

This week’s Aggie Highlight comes to us from Jeremy Sievers, director of NCTA Intramural Sports. Learn about what is happening in Intramurals and how you can get involved.

What are Intramural Sports? How many members do you have?

Intramural Sports is part of student life and there are no membership fees. Intramurals are co-ed and open to all students on campus, as well as faculty and staff. For volleyball right now, we have about 85 students involved.

When and where does the club meet?

Intramurals use the Football Field south of Ag Hall, the Curtis Memorial Community Center gymnasium, and the City of Curtis’ Mill Park Softball Field. Games are played on Monday and Thursday nights.

What intramurals are currently underway and which ones will be coming up this spring?

Volleyball is being played now. In the spring we will have basketball, softball and dodgeball if there is time in the schedule. We typically start the fall semester off with flag football.

Who is the director of Intramural Sports?

I, Jeremy Sievers, am the director of Intramural Sports as well as Associate Professor of Agribusiness Management Systems here at NCTA.

What is a highlight of your intramural involvement?

Allowing students to have a chance to participate in activities outside of the classroom setting and to build relationships with other students on campus has been very rewarding to me.

When do students sign up for spring teams or how do they get involved?

For the spring semester, we will have sign up for co-ed basketball the week or two after we get back from break. For softball, we normally sign up before spring break and start playing after we come back. Getting involved consists of a sign-up sheet for captains to put teams together and if you do not know anyone for a team, students can just let me know and I try to put them on a team.
