When school seems to have stressed students to the point of insanity, Georgia Highlands College once again brings excitement to college life with intramural sports.
This semester, Georgia Highlands College is offering co-ed football, ultimate Frisbee, a tennis tournament, the Turkey Day Walk or Run, 3-on-3 basketball and the Fitness Incentive Team program.
Co-ed football will begin on Oct. 10 and last until Nov. 7. Football will be played on the soccer field on Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m.
The newest sport added to the intramural sports program is ultimate Frisbee. This exhilarating sport starts on Oct. 9 and will end in Nov. 6. The brand new sport will be played on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. on the soccer field.
Georgia Highlands College will also be hosting a tennis tournament beginning on Oct. 2. Sign-ups for tennis will end on Sept. 27.
The Turkey Day Walk or Run is scheduled for Nov. 13 at 12:30 p.m. Registration for the Turkey Day Walk or Run will begin at noon at the pavilion by the college lake on the day of the event.
Play for 3-on-3 basketball and the FIT program have already begun. Basketball will last until Nov. 5, and is being played on Thursdays at 1:30 p.m. The FIT program will end on Nov. 3
David Mathis, intramural coordinator, said, "Any student still wanting to participate may contact the physical education department at (706)295-6353, and we will be happy to add you to a team or program."
