Racquetball
Having started at the end of the
spring semester, this is the newest of
the club sports. A benefit, in addition
tc instructions and techniques on the
sport, is an updated phone list for
members’ use whenever they want to
play and are looking for a partner.
Troy Huffman, largely responsible
for the club’s conception, said other
projects also are in the works, includ
ing hosting tournaments, setting up a
video library on the sport and the use
of camcorders to tape practices so
members can sec their flaws.
An ann ual fee of S10 is charged for
membership into the Nebraska State
Racquetball Association.
Huffman can be reached at 464
3763, or contact Gregg Grosshans at
477-7362.
Rugby
Men’s: This sport is for all builds
and speeds, and students don’t need
football experience to play, accord
ing to Brian Chaffin, club president.
“There’s a spot on the field no
matter the si/.c,” Chaffin said. “It’s
open to everyone, and there arc no
cuts.”
Every member plays, he said, even
if that means dividing into two teams
or playing an extra, shortened game.
Intramural games
keep non-varsity
students active
By Todd Cooper
Staff Reporter
Whether it’s innertube water bas
ketball or mud volleyball, incoming
University of Nebraska-Lincoln fresh
men arc invited to get their feet wet in
the upcoming fall intramural season.
Out of the 150 intramural pro
grams scheduled for next school year,
about 25 are scheduled during Sep
tember and October.
Some of those activities include
slow-pitch softball, co-recreational flag
football and soccer. In addition, there
arc individual activities like frisbee
skills, hackcy sack, horseshoes and
badminton.
“Most people have played a var
sity sport or intramurals in high school
and would like to continue to do that,”
said Kenda Schccle, assistant direc
tor and coordinator of intramurals.
“As well, many student aren’t able to
play on the varsity level here. Intra
murals gives them a chance to con
tinue playing.”
Individual events usually do not
require advanced registration, as stu
dents may show up the day of the
event to register.
ror icarn sports, students must sign
up before the registration deadline set
by Campus Recreation. Those dates
will be set early in the fall semester.
On Aug. 30, Campus Recreation
will hold its annual meeting in the
Nebraska Union. Students arc invited
to attend and ask any questions they
might have about the upcoming sea
son.
The start of some competitions
have been tentatively set. Sept. 5 is
the date for a punt, pass and kick
competition, while Sept. 6 has been
set for cross country competition. Mud
volleyball and inncrtubc water bas
ketball tournaments arc set for mid
September and early October.
About 11 matches arc set for the fall
semester.
Dues for first-time players are
usually picked by older Dlayers, Chaffin
said.
Chaffin can be reached at 464
5204, or contact Mark Palmer, 474
2187.
Women’s: Twice in the past,
women’s rugby teams here have failed.
This club, which started last Febru
. kk ii
ary, is going to survive, says Denise
Taylor, team member.
The sport is physical, but Taylor
urges those interested or with any
questions at all to contact her. The
team has enough to field a team,
which is 15, but low numbers make
practicing difficult.
There is no fee and no tryouts,
Taylor said. If you practice, you play.
Taylor’s number is 477-1733.
