Springville Junior Runs Athletic Activities After School

Submitted by tiffanie.miley on

Intramurals has started off with a bang! Students are playing pickleball, badminton, volleyball, basketball, and even indoor soccer at SJHS. Students come into the boys' or girls' gym on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2:45 PM to 3:45 PM in order to participate in intramurals. All types of teachers host different sports for different days; intramurals are a way to get exercise and make up absences in P.E., jogging, body conditioning, and aerobic conditioning.

According to Coach Michael Parker, boys P.E teacher at Springville Junior High, intramurals is a cool and productive way to make up absences and just to have fun. This activity gives students the chance to play competitively, while having a great time. Whatever is happening in P.E will be the sport going on in intramurals, so if boys P.E is playing badminton, then badminton will be played after school as well.

According to Chancy Conger, ninth grader at Springville Junior High, intramurals are a fun, yet a competitive way to hang out and make friends. He loves to play badminton; it’s a great sport to play after school, and allows you to get plenty of exercise.

Students and teachers in intramurals would love to see more people join intramurals. The more kids that come, the more fun it will be. According to Mr. Parker, intramurals aren't just for absences; they are also for all kids to come and just have fun, and to get a good work out with all kinds of sports.
