Intramurals
Intramurals are a vibrant part of campus life, offering students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to engage in recreational activities that foster connection, competition, and friendship. Each semester we host a variety of sport leagues or tournaments. We welcome all levels of ability, experience, and interest to participate. Winners will receive an Intramural Champion t-shirt.
Intramurals and Club Sports: What's the Difference?
Intramural Sports are organized recreational activities, focusing on fun and participation for all skill levels. Club Sports are student-run, compete at a high level and involve playing against other universities' club teams.
