Those interested in taking their weight training to the next level are encouraged to register for the second part of the program, Lift Like a Girl Part Two. This program covers front squats, deadlifts, power cleans and more Olympic lifts using dumbbells. The class will meet from 4-5 p.m. on Wednesdays from April 5-May 10.

Intramural sports leagues

Teams are getting ready for another fun, action-packed semester of intramural sports. Participants can play in leagues such as basketball, broomball, sand volleyball, softball and, new this year, real-life Mario Cart.

All intramural sports leagues are open to UD students, staff/faculty, and alumni with a Little Bob membership. Each sport offers men’s, women’s and coed divisions with multiple levels of competitiveness to accommodate participants of all skill levels.

Winning teams receive the new intramural champion T-shirts. To view the sports schedule and register, visit this page.
