Makes sense. But ucd won’t do it. This is a school that sees no value in physical education as evidenced by its abrupt elimination of those course offerings this past academic year.

Interesting point. Rec Hall was a great place to excercise in the winter.

Are reminiscences about IM sports appropriate for this site?

Sure. Start a discussion here or in the OT section.

OK, I am pissed at the Pavillion. It took over all of our IM fields in the 70s. Is that an appropriate comment?

For starters, I want to praise the UC Davis Intramural program. When I was there it was directed by a young man whose name I can't remember, Gary Colson (?), I think, but I seem to recall that he was honored for administering a really outstanding program that gave every student a chance to extend, develop or even start playing sports that not only provided some physical exercise but allowed for social and organizational development for both men and women. Speaking for myself, I never got a chance to participate in any organized sport in high school, so it was great to be able to play football, basketball, and softball with and against my fellow students.

In the more popular team sports, the tiered system (A,B,C levels) let a lot of student play sports who never would have had any chance at all to be part of a team. I had friends who never dreamt of playing competitive basketball, but got out on the courts and had a whole lot of fun.
