The Lyndon state flag football league is one of the hidden treasures for students searching out a Sunday activity. With a small sign up sheet posted near sue Henry's office, word of mouth has continued to fuel and spark interest of many students that are a part of the Lyndon State College community.
The league was based off of the ever-popular AMS flag football tournament. The league was integrated nicely with a full schedule of games for Sunday mornings from 8 to noon. Intramurals Director Sue Henry was able to assign work-study students to referee the games as well.
The game is played with 8 players on the field for each team. The league became more realistic this year by changing the first down rules to be more similar to football; it was changed from a two-completion rule to gaining a certain number of yards from the line of scrimmage. Both of which had to be done within the four downs allotted.
The game is played in two halves of twenty minutes each. There are no fake plays on the extra point either. If the team says they are kicking a field goal they are obligated to kick and cannot throw or run the ball in. With the season quickly concluding, and eminent weather threatening to cover the field in snow, each team knows it is playoff time.
Playoffs are played in a two game per week format for two Sundays in a single elimination style. The final game is the championship game. With the intramural field designated a construction zone, the athletic director allowed the teams access to the soccer field.
Something appreciated by all players, "it’s awesome to be able to play since the school doesn't have a football team and now that we're on the varsity field it brings games to a whole new level." Ed Horan, a junior whose is in his third of playing, explained.
Sue Henry also offers many other intramural options.  There are other league options such as basketball, floor hockey, and volleyball.
Along with their league intramurals, there is also a weekly intramural sport offered during the weekends.  It is held on Saturdays and ranges from dodge ball to table tennis.  Residence halls on campus compete against each other to win the intramural championship.
Intramural activities are meant to be non-competitive and to promote exercise on campus.  You can contact Sue Henry at Susan.Henry@lyndonstate.edu for more information on all intramural sports around campus.
