Fort Hays State campus Intramural and Recreational sports offer more than 300 programs throughout the year for students interested in all kinds of activities.
“We’ve got something for everybody, we are here for everybody,” said Ron Haag, director of campus intramural and recreational sports.
Garrett Folks a Fort Hays State student said he recommends intramurals to anyone who is looking for a way to meet people, or for people to just have fun in any sport they can think of.
This month alone there is a golf simulation league, flag football, sand volleyball, and soccer events. Campus Recreation doesn’t just offer sports but also offers some non-sporting events such as Lego building, a chili cookoff, board games, and painting classes.
“You name it we are probably doing it,” Haag said.
Campus intramural and recreational sports are looking for more student employees to set up and run events.
“You do not have to be a great official to run all these activities,” Haag said.
For those interested in officiating, recreational sports offer an officiating program, where you can work as an official and referee games across the state.
Haag said that reffing is a good way to get into sports.
“Walk onto a wrestling match on a stage six feet high and thousands of people are watching you and ESPN cameras roll it’s just as intense is playing or coaching,” he said.
Those interested in intramural sports can come by the Intramural office at 111 Cunningham Hall and get a calendar or stay up to date on all the intramural activities with their online calendar.
