Activity at the UREC Student Recreation Complex is booming even more than usual as the halfway point of the spring semester approaches.Basketball, soccer and flag football regular seasons have come to a close, and playoffs are currently under way in basketball and soccer. Flag football playoffs have been postponed from their initial starting date and are now set to begin tonight.Todd Smith, UREC graduate assistant of leagues and tournaments, said the delays for the playoffs happened because of the poor weather and beginning of softball season.”Football is going to be a little different because of these rain outs,” Smith said. “We don’t know what it’s going to look like.”Dates for the flag football semifinal games and the championship match have not been set, but team captains will be contacted when the information becomes available.Soccer playoffs have already begun but also experienced game delays because of weather. The field of teams will be narrowed down with games next week, and championship games for the co-rec, women’s and all campus leagues are scheduled for March 10.Basketball playoffs have also begun. The finals will take place March 16 in the PMAC.”That will be pretty cool … it will be exciting for those players,” Smith said.The table tennis and racquetball playoffs are also set to begin next week. Smith said all season games need to be completed by March 8, and he complimented the players on  scheduling their own games.”We send them reminders every once in a while, but they’re doing a good job keeping up with it,” Smith said.University Recreation is also kicking off three more leagues next week. Registration for softball, indoor volleyball and dodgeball ended yesterday, and Smith said as of Tuesday, the numbers were not as high as they had planned, especially for softball.”Everyone is getting excited about softball, but right now our registration numbers are a little lower than we would like it to be,” Smith said. “We were hoping somewhere around 150 [teams], and right now we’re at 71.”Smith said he was hoping for a large wave of teams to register at the deadline, increasing the numbers.Both indoor volleyball and softball will have men’s, women’s and co-rec leagues, but dodgeball will be strictly co-rec. Only four teams had signed up for the dodgeball league as of Tuesday.”I can’t honestly tell you what we were anticipating [with dodgeball], because we’ve never done it before,” Smith said.University Recreation will also host a badminton tournament in early April, and the registration for intramural golf is still underway. The golf league will run throughout the semester, and the registration fee is $10 for UREC members. Participants can play up to 12 rounds on their own time, with the top six rounds counting toward their league score. Participants will also receive a discount of $2 per round upon registration for the league. All scores and handicaps will be taken care of by the LSU Golf Course, and scores must be submitted by April 30.—-Contact Mark Clements at [email protected]
