Recreation Billiards Added to Intramural Sports Slate

For the first time, Drexel Student Centers and Recreational Athletics will offer billiards as an intramural sport.

Slated as a wintertime activity, registration for both singles and doubles is open until midnight, Jan. 13. Matches are slated to be held at the Ross Commons billiards room Tuesday and Thursday nights each week, beginning next week.

Assistant Director of Drexel Student Centers Frank Cermatori said the pool tables have been used pretty consistently over the years but they’ve recently been refinished. After good turn-outs for test events, it was decided to offer leagues. Those leagues will culminate in playoffs during the 10th week of classes this quarter with prizes awarded to the top finishers.

“Ross Commons has the physical space and expertise to host a billiards league while Recreation has interest in running tournaments and recreational leagues and activities,” Cermatori said. “Hopefully this is the start of a new tradition. Our role at Drexel Student Centers is to assist in creating positive memories for the students.”
