The club depends on volunteers interested in the sports to assist in organizing, but it’s not hard–contact the sports committee ([email protected]) for help. If people are interested in playing but not in organizing, we can direct you to the league and tell you how to be placed with other UM alums.
Past Seasons:
The alumni club organizes various sports teams with Zogsports for each of the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall seasons. Depending on the level of interest this typically includes Touch Football, Soccer (indoor and/or outdoor), Basketball, Dodgeball, Volleyball, and Kickball. (For more info, visit http://www.zogsports.org.) If you are interested in playing on future teams, please send a quick note to the sports committee ([email protected]).
