*Updates will start from most recent date.
Feb. 21- Volleyball had to be cancelled on Sunday due to unknown reasons by the director. We have had to reschedule the volleyball games last minute. We were just going to skip volleyball for this week, but decided not to due to people being upset about not being able to play an "organized" game. So James and I took suggestions and decided to space the 3 volleyball games over the first three days of the week. Game one would be on Monday at 5:30 before Soccer, game 2 would be on Tuesday at 5:30 before basketball and game 3 would be on Wednesday at 5:30 before ultimate frisbee. All other sports remain as schedule.
Feb. 7th- We had our first volleyball games tonight. 6 teams- 3 winners. I think we've decided to let everyone participate as they wish and try to do all the sports we have already set up once a week. After 6 weeks of playing regular games, we'll host a tournament week, in which one team will be champion. Then we can do one final day of events (we'll probably make new teams) for all Australian sports. These will probably include Cricket, Netball, and Iron Man. They may have to be modified, but this is still a rough idea. The teams will remain the same for all of the final Aussie tournament. Then, at the dinner, we'll present an Australian sport champion team... or something of the sort. As I said, this is the rough idea. Things might change depending on interest.
Feb. 4th- Yesterday, I created a survey for all of the Ball State students. This survey was to find out about the interests of the students so that we can better cater to them with sports they will actually want to play. The survey consisted of asking what sports interested them the most out of Touch Football, Tennis, Ultimate Frisbee, Volleyball, Soccer, and Basketball. Then we asked them to rank them from least favorite to most favorite. Other questions we asked them involved upcoming events. Other questions included how competitive they were on a scale from 1-5, what kind of teams would you like to compete with (CO-ED, male, female...), would they be interested in cabin olympics. would they be interested in learning Netball and Cricket, would they be interested in learning to paddle board and then we allowed them to make further comments.
The results of the surveys were as follows: We wanted to choose 5 sports and tennis was the least liked so we decided Intramurals would include all of the sports mentioned except Tennis. The questions that referred to competitiveness and preference of teams were just references to us for making the teams. A majority of everyone were interested in cabin olympics, learning about netball and cricket, and learning how to paddle board. 2 comments made on the surveys expressed interest in learning lawn bowling as well.
