Athletics at McGill: A Brief Introduction

Athletics at McGill: A Brief Introduction
Hi Everybody! Law school can be stressful sometimes, so it is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle
which should include some form of exercise. Whether you’re a top-level athlete, a recreational sports
player, or just interested in a yoga or spinning class there are a wide variety of options available to you
here at McGill.
Ce guide vous introduira brièvement aux options qui vous sont offertes et vous donnera une idée de
comment vous pourrez vous impliquer. Une fois que vous avez une idée générale de vos intérêts,
consultez www.mcgill.ca/athletics pour plus de détails. Ce site-web sera votre principale source
d’information tout au long de l’année. Si vous avez des questions, suggestions ou commentaires,
n’hésitez pas à me contacter Mike Finley par courriel à [email protected].
Cheers and welcome to The Faculty of Law and to Montreal!
À la faculté
Information Générale
There are a many opportunities to get involved in athletics without ever leaving the law faculty (though I
recommend you leave once in awhile anyway). Throughout the year there are recreational athletic
events like the malpractice cup (tug of war, capture the flag etc. against the med students) and law
games (sports, debating and partying with other law schools).
Je désire également organiser d’autres évènements tout au long de l’année. Si vous voulez organiser
une activité sportive de groupe comme une sortie pour faire de l’escalade, il me fera plaisir d’écouter
vos idées et de tenter de les mettre en œuvre avec votre aide. Vous n’avez qu’à m’envoyer un courier.
Running
There are four running groups four times each week: Tuesday at 6:45 AM, Wednesday at 6:30 PM,
Friday at 5 PM and Sunday at 11 AM, which you can sign up for on the online Google spreadsheet.
The link to the document will be sent to you during the first week of classes. This is a purely
recreational group and all levels of experience are welcome (including none at all!). We will divide into
fast, medium and slow groups once we get a feel for everybody’s pace.
Squash
Il y aura également, durant les sessions d’automne et d’hiver, un « squash ladder » pour lequel vous
pourrez vous inscrire gratuitement à l’adresse suivante : www.squash-ladder.com. Une fois que vous
serez enregistré, cliquez sur l’icône « Find ladder » et recherchez « McGill Law Squash ». Le mot de
passe requis pour s’enregistrer est « mcgilllaw ». Tous ceux et celles qui voudront participer à la
session d’automne doivent absolument s’inscrire avant le 20 septembre 2010. Pour la session d’hiver,
la date limite d’inscription est le 15 janvier 2011.
The McGill Sports Complex
Location and Registration
The McGill Sports Complex is located at 475 Ave. Des Pins, a short walk from the Faculty of law. The
facilities are good and it is likely the least expensive gym in Montreal. Make sure you have your McGill
ID card when you go as you will need to scan it in order to enter. Part of your tuition fee includes a
component that goes to athletics and recreation. This gives you automatic membership of the sports
complex. This means that you can access all of the facilities including the pool, outdoor and indoor
tracks, gymnasiums, tennis courts, squash courts and outdoor playing field. The only exception is the
Fitness centre. If you want to use the fitness center you will have to pay a very reasonable $20 per
semester. To sign up, go to the Client Services office at the complex (turn right after you pass the
security desk, it is in the hallway on the left-hand side. You can also register online through myathletics.
Services, bookings and rentals
Pour réserver un terrain de tennis ou de squash, vous devez appeler au (514) 398-7001 ou vous
présenter en personne au Centre de conditionnement physique (Fitness Centre). Seules les
réservations pour la journée-même ou pour le prochain jour disponible pourront être faites. De plus,
vous ne pouvez louer qu’un seul terrain à la fois. Durant la journée et après les heures achalandées, il
sera possible de simplement se présenter pour utiliser un terrain, toutefois, si quelqu’un ayant déjà
réservé le terrain arrive, il vous faudra lui céder la place.

Varsity Sports
Varsity athletics is the highest level of athletic competition available through the university. Each team
hold its own tryouts which tend to occur before the academic year begins. The best way to get involved
in a varsity sport is to begin by checking out their section on the McGill athletics website. Each team
has a mini-page accessible through a drop-down menu. There you will find links to their recruitment
forms and procedures, schedules, and the coach’s contact information. If you have an interest in the
sport, then it is best to get in touch with the coach; they will give you more details as to what is required
and expected. Below are the contact details for the coaches:

Intramurals
Website: https://home.mcgill.ca/athletics/recreation/intramurals/
Les sports intra-muraux sont une bonne façon de s’impliquer au niveau athlétique à McGill si vous
n’avez pas le temps, l’expérience ou l’envie de jouer dans une équipe universitaire. Plusieurs sports
sont offerts incluant du soccer 2 contre 2, du soccer traditionnel, du volleyball 4 contre 4, du hockey, du
hockey avec balle, du basketball, du dodgeball et autres. Consultez le site web pour une liste complète
des sports offerts et des horaires.
There are up to three levels of intramural sport at McGill:
Competitive
• Experienced athletes with a fairly high level of competition
• Regular season and playoffs
Intermediate
• Moderately competitive with athletes with some experience in the sport, less intense than
the competitive leagues
Recreational
• For fun, athletes will have no or minimal experience in the sport
• Regular season only
How to register
Once you’ve got together enough people for a team, one of the team members will complete the online
registration at myathletics (https://myathletics.mcgill.ca), login using your usual Minerva details) and pay
the entry fee. Once the entry fee is paid, a copy of your team roster should be emailed to
[email protected].
If you don’t have a team you can go out there as a free agent. There are “free agent meetings” so that
you can arrange to join a team that needs members. See the intramurals page of the Mcgill Athletics
website to find out the free agent dates for your sport.
Les Clubs Sportifs
Il existe divers clubs sportifs à McGill, autant récréatifs que compétitifs.
The recreational clubs are self-governing though they use McGill Athletics facilities. Most of these clubs
charge some sort of registration fee in order to meet costs.
Ci-dessous est présentée une liste des clubs récréatifs ainsi qu’un lien dirigeant à une page web qui
pourra vous donner de plus amples informations sur chacun d’eux.

Autres Clubs
Il existe de nombreux autres clubs à McGill, qui, sans nécessairement être listés sur le site de McGill,
ont un certain élément athlétique, tout comme le « Karate Club », le « Outdoors Club » (qui inclut
l’escalade et le cyclisme), le « Cricket Club » et autres (dont le « Quidditch Club).
These clubs are governed by SSMU. There is a pdf document with a list of all of the SSMU clubs,
services and accredited organizations available at http://ssmu.mcgill.ca/clubs-services/clubs/clubdocuments/.
Other Athletic Facilities in the Area
Si vous préférez joindre un centre d’entrainement autre que celui de McGill, diverses options s’offrent à
vous. While I would recommend the McGill gym as the cheapest option, you may prefer cushier
facilities, fewer users or a location that is more convenient for you. Below are some alternative options
