Monday Night Indoor Sports

In the past, we’ve had several sports teams as a part of the UBC Intramurals League. To minimize fees (and red tape) GrasPods started its own intramurals league! The third season of this highly successful league is now over. Check the sports page for game results and the photo gallery. Soccer is currently running from September 20 to April 18, except school holidays.


Monday Night Summer Soccer

Starting in summer 2009, to cut down on uncertainty and commute associated with the GSS summer leagues, we have decided to organize our own weekly drop-in soccer at Charleson Field. This past summer, games were on Mondays, starting at 5:30pm. Everyone was welcome and encouraged to bring their friends along. The more the merrier! See you all next summer!


Monthly Ice Hockey

Ice hockey has yet to be planned for 2010-11. The info below is from last year. Watch your emails or this website for future announcements. Better yet, volunteer to fill our vacant sports rep position and help us organize this event!

Hockey and Canada. Canada and Hockey. It's just one of those things one must 'do' while in the country. Through the winter and spring months, GrasPods regularly hosts stick-and-puck hockey at the West End Community Centre ice rink. All skill levels are welcome (even if you can't skate very well). No extra equipment is required. The fees are about $15 per session and skates/stick and be rented for $2.50. Cost, as well as actual event dates and times, will be confirmed closer to the relevant date. Space is limited so keep an eye out for sign-up emails!


GrasPods Music Group

The music group no longer meets regularly. Christmas performances at the Canadian Cancer Society lodge are becoming an annual tradition, however. Please contact us if you would like to become more involved in fostering a musical environment for our members and our community.

GrasPods has started its own music ensemble. The group has now performed twice to the patients and staff at the BCCA and several times at the Canadian Cancer Society. Photos and videos of the performance are now online in our photo gallery. If you are interested in joining, or would just like more information, please contact us.


GSS Summer Sports Leagues

In past years, GrasPods has fielded teams in the GSS summer sports leagues. However, these have been supplanted by our own rental of Charleson Field last summer. Future involvement in the GSS League is currently undecided. Check out the photos and results from 2008. If you have an idea for a team you would like to start, please contact us!


Monthly Movie Night

The movie nights are currently on hold. Watch your emails or this website for future announcements.

Keep an eye out for GrasPods' Monthly Movie Nights down at the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Family Theatre. Movie choice as well as date/time will be announced via email, but will also be updated on the events calendar on a rolling basis. Free pop and popcorn is available and we're always taking suggestions for movies!
