Eleven sports offered from Recreation Services
Or at least get down and dirty with a little bit of flag football.

Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, said that playing intramurals was a great way to stay active and meet new people.

There are 11 intramural activities offered by KU Recreation Services this year, and every year, literally thousands of KU students participate in intramurals.
"The social aspect is the big draw," he said. "With so many kids participating from different groups students can get exposed to people from different areas of campus."
"Last year we had over 100 football teams and around 80 sand volleyball and soccer teams," he said. "So there were thousands of kids involved in just those three sports."
Krone said that not only greek houses and residence halls entered teams. Sometimes a group of friends gets together and forms a team in a sport that it enjoys.
Besides football, sand volleyball, regular volleyball and soccer, students also can play floor hockey, tennis or 8 ball pool. There is also a bowling league and a golf tournament, along with a swim meet and organized racquetball.
"We try to provide one activity that every KU student would be interested in," Krone said. "Plus it's a really fun atmosphere."
"Everyone wants to know how they can match up with their peers," he said. "Whoever wins their respective tournament has bragging rights for that year."
Krone said that the competition in intramurals was a big draw for campus organizations like Greek houses and residence halls.
Sean Younger, Mulvane senior and intramural supervisor, said that intramurals were a good way for students to have some good, cheap fun.
"It's only $30 for each team to play," he said.
"And that's pretty cheap. That way lots of teams can enter, and we can have some good competition."
Krone also said that every team sport has three divisions: men's, women's, and co-rec. So it is easy for almost everyone to find a way to fit in.
"That makes it easier to work the games into everyone's schedule." he said
"No one gets left out," he said. "We want everyone to be involved."
Younger said that at the manager's meeting each team gets to decide what day and time it wants to play.
Manager meetings begin Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. A list of sports and meeting times can be obtained at the recreation services office at 208 Robinson, or by calling the office at 864-3546.

Students needed to referee competitions

Students at the University of Kansas have a wide variety of job opportunities. From being a bartender to working the front desk at a residence hall, students need jobs that give them some spending money and are fun at the same time.
For students who like sports, a good job could be waiting for them at Robinson Center.
Thousands of KU students participate in intramural sports, and keeping an operation that big running takes a lot of help. Students can be intramural officials, a job that not only deals with sports but also puts them right in the action.
Jason Krone, assistant director of Recreation Services, said that there were a lot of misconceptions about being an official on an intramural level.
"People think they can't play in that sport
if they officiate it," he said. "And that's just not true. Plus students see how professional officials get yelled at and think that every official gets treated that way, but we don't tolerate that kind of behavior."
Krone said that working as an official gave students other benefits besides money.
"You get to be around sports in a fun atmosphere, meet a lot of people and get paid for it," he said. "Plus you never have to work over breaks because we don't schedule any activities during school vacations."
There are five sports this fall that need officials: flag football, sand and indoor volleyball, soccer and floor hockey. Krone said that while previous experience in a sport was good for prospective officials to have, it was not necessary.
"Anybody who has interest in the sport is welcome to officiate," he said. "Even if you don't know all the rules we can teach them to you. It's a great way to start out in sports."
Jeremy Arthur, Erie junior, said that he has officiated for the last two years and was planning on doing it again this year.
"The best part is the people you get to meet," he said. "Plus you're around sports, and getting paid for it. What more could sports fan ask for?"
Krone said that Recreation Services was there to support its employees.
"We want our officials to know that they are not alone if an injury or disciplinary situation arises," he said.
Arthur said that he got comfortable by officiating a practice game before he actually put on the striped shirt.
"It kind of made me less nervous for my first time," Arthur said. "I felt better knowing I had already done it before when I did my first real game."
A list of officials' meeting times can be picked up in the Recreation Services office at 208 Robinson, or by calling the office at 864-3546.
