The Intramural Sports Program is very popular among students, with close to half of the undergraduate population participating in at least one intramural sport. During the 2008-2009 academic year, we will offer 63 different sports and special events. Annually, this accounts for over 30,000 participations by faculty, staff and students.

Team Schedules

There are three different types of offerings in the Intramural Sports Program: Intramural Leagues, One Day Events/Tournaments and Special Events.

Intramural Leagues generally run for about 5 weeks of round-robin play, followed by a single elimination tournament. Any team that does not forfeit out of the league makes it to playoffs. Teams have 1-2 games a week, based on the team availability. Intramural leagues include:

• 3 on 3 Basketball and 5 on 5 Basketball
• 4 on 4 Volleyball and 6 on 6 Volleyball
• Arena Ultimate Frisbee
• Broomball
• Flag Football and Arena Flag Football
• Floor Hockey
• Innertube Water Polo
• Indoor Soccer and Outdoor Soccer
• Melon Ball
• Quickball
• Softball
• Tennis and Racquetball

Most of these activities are offered at two levels: (1) All-School (highly competitive) and (2) Recreational (just for fun).Championship t-shirts are awarded to the overall winners in both divisions.

One Day Events/Tournaments are designed for someone who wants to participate, but maybe cannot commit to an intramural league. Again, most of these activities are offered at two levels, and championship t-shirts are awarded to the overall winners in both divisions. Some of the one day tournaments are:

• Badminton Singles and Doubles Tournaments

The Special Events Program is offered as a direct alternative to drinking/partying. We offer 13 of these events late at night, on the weekends, throughout the school year. The events for 2008-2009 are:

• Friday Night Indoor Soccer Tournament
