Intramural & Club Sports at Regis

At Regis, we offer a variety of sports and teams you can join to get active, make friends, and really feel like part of our Regis campus. For intramural sports there are options like wiffleball, soccer, basketball, and more offered in the fall. In the spring, there are sports like badminton, spike ball, volleyball, and more. I got the chance to talk to some of our student players:

Lucia Hoang- Member of the Women’s Rugby Team

“For me, the team and sport is an opportunity to escape from a busy schedule and spend time with some lovely ladies. It helps to keep me sane. Rugby is also a pleasant reminder of my days studying abroad in Ireland.

Ryan Moldenhauer- Co-president of the Club Men’s Volleyball

“The club team has been a challenging, yet rewarding process. It requires much more commitment and responsibility than any other club or intramural sport I have been part of. We are given a budget which lasts the entire year to play in tournaments and purchase equipment. The practice schedule consumes a lot of time during the week and has been challenging for me to balance with my school work. However, this dedication has been rewarding in the sense of improving my game with my teammates everyday. We are all on this team together and share the same goal. The club game has been difficult, yet it will be just as rewarding once we begin playing competitively.”

Jade Meurer- Captain of an Intramural Soccer Team

“Our team has had a lot of fun because we are all friends so this activity allows us to all hang out and play a game we enjoy.”

If you have played sports in the past or just want to out yourself out there and have fun, join a team! You can contact Jennifer Wink jwink@regis.edu for more information.

Regis Soccer Begins Offseason

            Coming off a 14-5-1 record in 2016, the Regis men’s soccer team has entered their offseason training, looking to improve even more for the 2017 season this fall. Sophomore transfer, Josh Burnett, mentions that the offseason is going quite smoothly, saying, “The squad is looking nice, we added a few transfers and have been lifting every other day and playing every other day. Definitely, a more relaxed atmosphere considering it being offseason.” The team has become a force to be reckoned with and with many players returning, it doesn’t look like that is going to change.

            Looking at the women’s soccer team, the offseason is going just as well. Sophomore center back, Sydney Devries, is confident about their offseason, saying, “The off-season really tests the team mentally and physically. We're putting in a lot of work in the weight room and on the field. It's exciting to see everyone's growth so far, and I'm looking forward to the potential of a strong season come fall!” Finishing 8-8-3, the women’s soccer team is looking to get over .500 and make a push for the NCAA tournament. It is time to get excited Rangers because the soccer teams are getting ready for a competitive 2017 season!
