Gators Spring Sports!


Are you still suffering from post-football season blues? Well, I have some good news. Even during the Spring semester the University of Florida has some great sporting events for students and Gator fans to enjoy. So unpack all of your orange and blue fanatic gear and practice those Gator cheers!
To start, if you haven’t been to a single Men’s basketball game, go sign up now! They are some of the rowdiest, most competitive, exciting sports to watch on campus. It compares to a Saturday in the Swamp but with air conditioning! Just as exciting are the Women’s basketball games. Plus, both are free to students. Also going on in the O’Connell  Center we have the impressive Gator gymnastics team and swimming and diving. Make sure to keep checking what games will have free T-Shirts!
If you enjoy watching a good sports game while soaking up some rays there are plenty of outdoor sports going on every weekend. Baseball and softball always draw a crowd so get there early if you want a close parking spot. We also have track and field, lacrosse, soccer, and golf matches. Check out a calendar of all upcoming competitions at www.gatorzone.com/schedule.
For those of you who want to be in the action instead of on the sideline, Rec Sports offers a variety of intramural sports that you can join individually or create your own team. There are the typical sports such as softball and ultimate Frisbee. But to make things more interesting, UF also offers some fun competitions that would never make it in the Olympics. For example, on April 12th there is the ultimate board game brought to life- Battleship. To play battleship, each team piles into a canoe, then paddles around a pool while trying to sink other canoes. There may not be a lot of skill, but there is a lot of fun! For a complete list of upcoming sports visit www.recsports.ufl.edu/intramural-sports/spring-schedule.

Go Gators!
