VSU Rec Center starts using new Intramural app

Written By: Will De Lorenzo

VSU Recreation has partnered with IMLeagues to introduce a new user-friendly application “REC* IT.” This app allows users to access their individual IMLeagues’ profiles and manage their intramurals directly from their phones.

“Students can look at their schedule, add and drop members, and put in re-schedule requests [directly from the app.],” said interim Assistant Director of Intramural Sports and Club Sports, Justin Stewart.

Stewart stressed that the app would be easier to use and more convenient for students with a busy lifestyle. By allowing students to go directly to their respective profiles, this eliminates the need to sign into multiple websites on your computer to check something as simple as a game time.

The goal here was to introduce a user-friendly mobile app to replace the complicated IMLeagues mobile website.

“This app will allow our intramural program to go to the next level,” Stewart said. “Not having to depend on a website or computer to find out game schedules or what is going [on] in the intramural program and instead having it all at the touch of a button on their phone allows for easier computing.”

The app was presented at the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association’s Conference in April 2014. It was released for a trial run this summer and had minimal to no problems.

Stewart did state that the app does contain less overall detail than the website. So as an FYI for first time users, sign-up online at imleagues.com.

According to Stewart, VSU Recreation will use this app much like their various social media accounts to convey information to students about game cancelations, game results and league standings. Registration notifications will be posted in the app as well.

“REC*IT” is free to download on both the Android Market and the App Store.
