Policy Title: INTRAMURAL SPORTS

The Department of Intramural Recreational Services has as its mission to conduct a broad range of activities for students, faculty, and staff of East Central Community College based upon the philosophy expressed in the following statements: Basic Belief: 1. That it is a responsibility of a college to promote a complete and intelligently conducted intramural program in which all students, faculty, and staff have the opportunity to participate. 2. That college men and women are in a formative and active phase of their lives when vigorous participation in active games and recreation is necessary and beneficial. 3. That college students need to be instructed and encouraged to discriminate between wholesome recreation that enriches and enlarges their lives and so-called “enjoyments” which degrade and dissipate. Administrative Objective: 1. To provide the best possible recreational opportunities for the students, faculty, and staff of East Central Community College. 2. To provide an opportunity for recreation and relaxation from strenuous school work and the rapid pace of modern day society for all participants.

3. To provide an emotional situation that is conducive to learning and open to creative expression.

4. To promote East Central Community College through organized recreational activities.

Student Objective: It is the desire of our department that every student who participates in our program of activities benefits in the following ways:

1. Improve physical and mental health through the joy of participation in recreational activities.

2. Learn the skills and establish the habit of participation in a variety of activities so there will be enjoyment of appropriate sports in after-school life, as well as, the present.

3. Make social contacts and develop friendships that the comradery of competing together affords.
