Students Staying Fit

For the last year the Carroll Family Center has partnered with Carroll Community College to provide intramurals for current students. I was fortunate enough to not only implement the program overall but facilitate it week to week. Currently we offer intramurals 3 days a week; soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Knowing how busy the life of a college student can be, I was surprised at how many students were interested in the program and participated weekly. Most of the students played in high school and because Carroll Community College does not offer collegiate sports, they have nowhere to continue, what for most, is a passion.

I think that it is wonderful that as an employee of the Y of Central Maryland I get the chance to give incoming freshmen especially, the opportunity to continue doing something that they love. One student in particular has made it a point to tell me how this program often is the highlight of his day and how it has helped him meet friends and really enjoy his college experience.
