ORSA History
Colleges in the State of Ohio
The tradition begins at Dayton….
The first Ohio Intramural Sports State Workshop was held in May of 1976 at the University of Dayton, Physical Activities Center, and was hosted by the NIRSA State Director, Patti Holmes and Billy Mayo. The UD Director welcomed approximately 25 participants. Dr. Jim Peterson, US Military Academy and NIRSA Regional Vice-President, gave the keynote address. The one day program was highlighted by a tour of UD’s Physical Activities Center and a commitment to begin a tradition of annual state workshops was agreed upon by all attendees. The conference program was very general in nature and consisted primarily of a variety of buzz sessions. Approximately 12 schools from Ohio were represented.
And continued in 2011
The 36th annual Ohio Recreational Sports Association Workshop was held on November 3 and 4, 2011 at Youngstown State University. 209 attendees participated in the two day program.
The ORSA Scholarship Auction and Raffle raised over $3,000.00 for student scholarships.
