Texas A&M Kingsville student recreational center is\nlooking to change things up with the intramural sports program this spring\nsemester. If you have not noticed the schedule for the events being presented\nthis semester it is a new sport called Archery Tag. The new game is a four\nversus four that is played on a basketball court. It is essentially dodgeball\nwith very similar rules but players are able to roam around the court to hit\nthe opposing player using a bow and arrow. Course players will be kept safe as\nthey will be required to wear helmets. Of course it brings to question about\nwhy this particular sport archery tag?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked about the reason for this particular sport Carlos\nDiaz stated \u201cNIRSA has been pushing archery tag at every conference, it\u2019s one\nof the new sports that is liked by a lot of people, so we finally gave it a\nshot.\u201d Diaz is the assistant director of competitive sports and believes that\nthe sport will be very popular with the student population. The staff has\nactually presented it at their \u201cRec Fest\u201d at the beginning of the semester.\nJose Uribe an official and employee at the rec center stated that \u201cPeople\nseemed to have liked it and I\u2019ve had people come up to me and ask when is the\nnext event.\u201d Daniel Zuniga a business major said \u201cthat definitely sounds like\nfun and I would think it will peak the interest of students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the future of this sport event Diaz stated \u201cI would\ndefinitely like to see this grow to an actual season.\u201d Unfortunately this will\nbe a one day event only, but if enough people attend it can grow to be a\nregular sport with the intramurals. Currently there are no specific men,\nwomen\u2019s or co ed team available but individuals are able to sign up the day of\nthe event at the student recreation center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
