Where Are the Sports?

Special IssueDavid Kaufmann — Published September 6, 2011

Are you in the mood for some bone-crushing, hard-hitting action? Perhaps you would like to watch some slam-dunking, or some goal scoring? Or maybe painting yourself maroon and gold is just your thing. (Fall colours, brah.)

Look no further than Concordia’s Athletic Complex located at the Loyola campus and easily accessible from the downtown campus by shuttle bus. There you can feast your eyes on all the college football (Canadian rules, mind), basketball, hockey, soccer, and rugby the Stingers have to offer.

If watching a ball getting hit out of the park is more your thing, the Stingers also have a baseball team that plays at Trudeau Park in Côte-St-Luc.

Concordia Intramural Leagues

• Ultimate Frisbee
  Beginning Sept. 11, make your way down to the Loyola fields, and learn more about that mysterious and probably hippie-related plastic disc you once played with as a child. The Ultimate Frisbee league meets every Sunday night between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

• Basketball
  As of Sept. 13, gather ‘round a bunch of your tallest buds and make your way over to the Loyola Gym to join in on some friendly basketball. The action starts at 7:40 p.m. and continues until 11:00 p.m.

• Soccer
  ConU has got you covered with both its outdoor and indoor soccer leagues. On Sundays between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., get a group of people to the Loyola fields and play a game of soccer the way it was meant to be played—outdoors. If you hate letting the elements control your game, bring your cleats to the Loyola Gym Wednesday nights. The Gym will be opening its doors to footy fans starting Sept. 14. The balls start flying at 6:30 p.m. and will continue until 11:00 p.m.

• Volleyball
  Feeling a distinct lack of pain in your forearms? On Monday and Thursday nights, feed your need and get your volley, serve and spike on between 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.
