As the last bell rings announcing the end of school, students from all grades jump from their seats, grab their stuff, and book it to intramurals. After-school intramurals is a program offered to all students in the school and can also be used to make up absences from P.E. Intramurals give students a chance to come have fun and get healthy.

Intramurals are held after school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 2:45 to 3:45. Mr. Hansen is currently running weight lifting intramurals. This will continue throughout the year. Mr. Hatfield will be coaching martial arts intramurals soon. Coach Parker is usually in charge of badminton. He also sponsors the intramural tournaments held in Payson, Spanish Fork, or Mapleton.

“Intramurals are really fun, and they’re also a good way to get into sports and stay active,” eighth grader Abi Santiago says. “They are a blast,” Coach Parker agrees, “You can come to play with friends, compete, and have a great time staying active.” So if you’re looking for a way to stay fit and have fun, go to after-school intramurals!
