Ice was made up of BYU–Idaho students Joe Januzzi, Sam Tsukamoto, Jeff Hawley, Zach Rasmussen, Tyson Thomas and Jacquelin Cox.Futsal used to be a part of the RecSports program but had to be removed due to bad sportsmanship. Creek tried to petition,  but due to the time frame in the semester, it was too late to be considered for the Fall 2009 schedule. Instead, to see how many would come out and play, Creek put on a futsal tournament. “It came off without a hitch. Notwithstanding the lack of space, budget, time and referees — we didn’t want paid refs anyways — it couldn’t have gone any better,” Creek said. Approximately 160 students competed in the tournament. Creek says the turnout was “three to four times bigger than he thought.”Futsal is similar to soccer, but there are some major differences. For instance, the size of the field and teams are much smaller. Futsal is played in an area the size of a basketball court with teams made up of five players. Futsal games usually only last for 20 to  30 minutes. “It’s much easier for your ‘average joe’ to play because endurance isn’t a key element — just good teamwork,” Creek said.Futsal is currently being considered for the Winter 2010 RecSports schedule. Creek hopes that the new card system will help to control futsal so the sport may return to BYU–I. “Right now, our only time available is during open play Monday nights and it’s pretty hard to give everyone who shows up a chance to play,” Creek said.So what do you think?

It’s also just a lot of fun,” said ultimate player Devin Smith. The disc can be thrown in any direction, but players cannot run while holding the disc. However, players can pivot in any direction and have ten seconds to throw the disc. A team is able to score by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing team’s end zone. When the offense doesn’t complete a pass by either throwing it out of bounds, dropping it, throwing an interception, the opposing team blocking it, etc., the defense takes possession. Ultimate is a “no contact sport.” This means players cannot come into physical contact with another player.

We’ve gotten better with teamwork and communicating though,” said Titans’ left defense player Valerie Wilke. The six teams are made up of approximately 14 players each: Lady Vikings (3-2), Lady Hawks (4-2), Lady Titans (0-5), Lady Bruins (4-1), Lady Hurricanes (1-4) and Lady Knights (5-0). “We abide by FIFA rules, but with some modifications. Unlike FIFA, we are allowed to sub players in and out as many times as we would like. We also have a strict no slide tackling rule to prevent injuries.”  “We have also adopted the sportsmanship point rule that is in other sports. Players who receive three points are disqualified. If teams receive seven points they are eliminated. The points roll over from other sports, including RecSports. They also last for a year,” said Women’s Competitive Soccer Coordinator and Hawks’ coach Amy Feik. Coach Feik says working together is important in soccer. “We started out as individuals; the really good players would outshine the rest, but now everyone trusts each other–it’s great. We’ve really come together as a team,” Feik said.           MEN'S: The competitive men’s soccer program will end next weekend. Approximately 16 players make up the six teams: Bruins, Hawks, Knights, Vikings, Spartans and Titans. The program abides by FIFA rules.“We’re doing really well and improving every game. We really just have to finish and play as a team,” said Spartans stopper Jason Dimond.The final tournament and championship game will be this Friday and Saturday Nov. 13 and 14.

Serves that hit the top of the net and still go over are legal.After the serve, the opposing team has to get the ball back to the other side within three hits without the same player hitting the ball consecutively. This sequence continues until either an illegal move or the ball hits the floor or the opposing team cannot return. If the ball hits the net, the play still continues until it hits the floor. Once a point is over, the team that won that point serves next. Either team can score each point in spite of who served the ball, which is referred to as the point rally system. KEY VOLLEYBALL TERMS:Blocking: A player jumps with hands raised to meet the ball at the top of the net to “block” the opposing player’s hit.Passing: A player underhandedly hits the ball. Also known as a “bump” or “dig.”Setting: Player hits the ball overhanded by creating a diamond like shape with his hands above his head.

Fabulous Flying Family Fomenters, a team made up of faculty from the Department of Home and Family and two employees’ sons, was the first team to complete the race. Tyler Anderson, faculty member Owen Anderson’s 16-year-old son, ran the last leg for the team. “I haven’t really ran since the Teton Dam Marathon, but I still did okay. The last leg was definitely more uphill than I thought it was going to be,” Anderson said. The actual starting point was at the church building directly south of the Idaho Falls Temple with the finish line at the church west of the Rexburg Temple. A total of 384 runners participated. The expedition was 32.7 miles. “I think this event was good for encouraging fitness. No one had to run a whole marathon, but were still able to feel like they had accomplished something. And they did. You don’t have to run a marathon to be in shape,” said senior Ashley Young, first aid trainer. Each team consisted of two, four or eight members. Many participants created names for their teams such as: “Sole Sisters,” “The Stinky Sock Gang,” “Fast Forward” or “We’ve Got Sole.” “Our team was too into a picture so we started five minutes later than planned; but I still made the exact time I was expecting,” said senior Rebecca Hill. “It was amazing. Being able to see such beautiful areas of Idaho Falls that you don’t usually get to see was really awesome. The whole event was well done and put together.” Although the event officially began at 8 a.m., the teams started on a staggered schedule. The latest a team took off was 9:15 a.m. Prior to the race, each team had to figure out the estimated time it would take for them to complete the race by using a pace calculator; this is what determined the beginning time for each team. “I ran the third leg, but the first two leaders got a good head start for our team so I was able to maintain it. Our team did very well. If they decide to do this event again next year, we’re probably going to challenge students in our department to run and try to beat us,” said Tom Rane, a member of the Family and Home department and of the Fabulous Flying Family Fomenters. The course was made up of eight exchange points. Every individual ran at least one leg; some ran multiple legs depending on the size of their team. Legs varied from 2.6 to 5.2 miles with the average leg being 4.1 miles. A lot of work went into planning this event. Doug Stutz, Head of Activities, has been planning this for a year. “I think this is a great activity to get involved in running. Hopefully people that have never even been big into running will be running. The idea is to get people into a pattern of healthy lifestyles,” Stutz said.

If they decide to do this event again next year, we’re probably going to challenge students in our department to run and try to beat us,” said Tom Rane, a member of the Family and Home department and of the Fabulous Flying Family Fomenters. The course was made up of eight exchange points. Every individual ran at least one leg; some ran multiple legs depending on the size of their team. Legs varied from 2.6 to 5.2 miles with the average leg being 4.1 miles. A lot of work went into planning this event. Doug Stutz, Head of Activities, has been planning this for a year. “I think this is a great activity to get involved in running. Hopefully people that have never even been big into running will be running. The idea is to get people into a pattern of healthy lifestyles,” Stutz said.

BYU-Idaho students, employees and their families participated. Fabulous Flying Family Fomenters, a team made up of faculty from the Department of Home and Family and two employees’ sons, was the first team to complete the race. Tyler Anderson, faculty member Owen Anderson’s 16-year-old son, ran the last leg for the team. “I haven’t really ran since the Teton Dam Marathon, but I still did okay. The last leg was definitely more uphill than I thought it was going to be,” Anderson said. The actual starting point was at the church building directly south of the Idaho Falls Temple with the finish line at the church west of the Rexburg Temple. A total of 384 runners participated. The expedition was 32.7 miles. “I think this event was good for encouraging fitness. No one had to run a whole marathon, but were still able to feel like they had accomplished something. And they did. You don’t have to run a marathon to be in shape,” said senior Ashley Young, first aid trainer. Each team consisted of two, four or eight members. Many participants created names for their teams such as: “Sole Sisters,” “The Stinky Sock Gang,” “Fast Forward” or “We’ve Got Sole.” “Our team was too into a picture so we started five minutes later than planned; but I still made the exact time I was expecting,” said senior Rebecca Hill. “It was amazing. Being able to see such beautiful areas of Idaho Falls that you don’t usually get to see was really awesome. The whole event was well done and put together.” Although the event officially began at 8 a.m., the teams started on a staggered schedule.
