Welcome to the season of soccer, Lancers! I for one have been waiting all year for this, and am thrilled that it\u2019s finally here!<\/p>\n
Our campus is filled with students interested in group sports, and if you\u2019re one of them (massively athletic, or not-so-much) I can guarantee you there\u2019s an option out there for you to get involved.<\/p>\n
In my case, I joined the intramural rec league. Joining the league is free, and you simply need to build a team of 8-14 players (friends, co-workers, whoever) and choose which country to represent. Then, just like a competitive league, you\u2019re assigned a color and can opt to order jerseys or simply where T-shirts with your number marked on them. You\u2019ll be emailed a game schedule for the entirety of the season (now through April), and then it\u2019s time to let the games begin!<\/p>\n
What\u2019s fabulous about playing in the rec league is that you can assume most players are more interested in having fun than winning. For me, that\u2019s perfect, because I haven\u2019t actually played soccer in almost 7 years and wouldn\u2019t necessarily consider myself a pro (in fact, I laugh at the thought). But by signing up, I\u2019ve still guaranteed myself an opportunity to be involved with one of the most fun and interactive ways to fellowship with fellow Lancers this spring!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately we, Portugal, lost our first game yesterday (0-1\u2026 sad day). But, in the spirit of good sportsmanship, we\u2019ve been challenged to practice a little harder and arrive at our next match with a fresh start and thirst for a good time! Can\u2019t wait! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
