New Paltz, NY — With the announcement of the Athletic Wellness Center re-opening last Friday, the State University of New York at New Paltz also released its updated fall 2020 intramural schedule, which features both in-person and virtual leagues. 

Tennis Singles, Pickleball Singles and Foot Golf, which will all be held on campus, are offered this fall and will run on a five-week season with times based on schedules provided by respective students interested in participating. Assistant Wellness & Recreation Director Kevin Makarewicz will run all events and will review rules and provide all equipment at scheduled matches.

Makarewicz will also oversee the fall's ESports league with offerings of FIFA '20 (Xbox 1 and PlayStation 4), Madden '20 (Xbox 1 and PS4), NBA 2K (Xbox 1 & PS4), NHL '20 (Xbox 1 & PS4), Rocket League 2v2 and 3v3, Fortnite Duos and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Top 2 teams in each game title will move on to a SUNY wide tournament, where all competing schools will also submit their top two intramural teams to compete to be the SUNY IM Esports Champion!
 

Additionally, SUNY New Paltz will host week-long tournaments allowing students to participate in a Home Run Derby (Sept. 21-24) located on Mary Gray Deanne Softball field, Corn Hole (Oct. 19-22) outside of the AWC or in the Hawk Center (pending on weather), and Giant Connect Four (Nov. 16-19). Students can participate either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday for each respective tournament with the best score of each evening going through to a championship single elimination round bracket held Thursday for a chance to win an intramural championship t-shirt. Tentative signups for time slots will be available on IM Leagues.

All league sign-ups are through IM Leagues. For more information on how to download IM Leagues, see below:
