The Texas A&M University-Kingsville Intramural Sports department, also known as IM Leagues, welcomed its first Women\u2019s Soccer intramural team. With this new team they are creating an all-women\u2019s soccer league. Mario Perez, a participant in the co-ed soccer league, feels the addition to IM League sports is a good thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like the fact that they have extended that option for a women\u2019s league is great,\u201d he said. Kinesiology major Blessing Tamez sees the new team in a positive light as well. \u201cI think that\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s nice to know that there are enough girls out there for there even to be a soccer league.\u201d With the new team on board the attendance is still too low for a league. There are only a few teams and the teams that are in the league need members to form consistency. The attendance has brought an issue to the amount of games being played.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy teammate\u2019s girlfriend is on a girls\u2019 team and she\u2019s only played like two games the whole season,\u201d Perez said. It is evident that the women\u2019s sport is at its starting point, but the staff is hoping it gains some popularity quickly. The positives are that the intramural staff is promoting everybody to become more active and participate in a fun environment. Though the turnout may not be huge, it is the start of something that could only grow from here. In fact, Angel Rodriguez said it could be better advertised. \u201c[I think they should] host a tournament before the season starts and to get to know people [to] get them involved. They [need to] see how much fun it really is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
