ShipRec will be hosting a variety of club and intramural sports available to all students, athletes or not, for the fall semester. Club sports compete against clubs from other colleges, while intramural sports are mainly just against fellow Shippensburg students.
Club sports meet year-round, whether it is weekly practices or competing against other schools. Intramurals last anywhere from one to three months, only meeting for matches with all events taking place on campus.
All club sports offered in 2022-23 return for this year, with ice hockey making its debut. Clubs allow students to join regardless of experience level, offering a friendly environment for everyone to learn, enjoy and compete.
The club sports available for 2023-24 include bass fishing, boxing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, ice hockey, in-motion dance troupe, men’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, men’s volleyball, men’s and women’s rugby, street hockey, table tennis and men’s and women’s ultimate frisbee.
Many of the clubs will be present at the 2023 Club Fair held on Aug. 31, and most have social media pages where those interested can learn more and contact the clubs.
There are six intramural sports being offered for the fall semester, with four returning from last year, being soccer, softball, spikeball and dodgeball. Sand volleyball and chess are being offered for the first time this semester.
Signups for all fall intramurals are open now, with volleyball being the first to close its registration, ending Aug. 31. Chess, soccer, and softball all end their signups Sept. 12, followed by dodgeball and spikeball closing Oct. 24.
Signups are done at imleagues.com/ship. All intramurals are coed, and students can sign up as a team or as a free agent, upon which they will be placed on a team.
