Athletics/Sports
How do I get involved in intramural sports?
Intramural sports are team-oriented activities. The quickest approach is often to organize a team among a network of friends or colleagues. There is a registration meeting at the beginning of each phase of intramurals. The team captain should attend this meeting to gain a better understanding of policies and procedures before signing up.
Students looking for a team may contact a team that has already signed up. Another option is to go to the intramural website and fill out a Free Agent form, which will post your name and general information. You may also attend the registration meeting yourself; an announcement will be made for players looking for teams. For more information on intramurals, visit the CRC Intramural Sports page.
Who is eligible to participate in intramural sports?
Students are eligible so long as they are enrolled in a degree program and maintain a class schedule of at least six credit hours. Co-op students on work semester must pay the Activity and Recreational Facilities fee to participate. Full-time faculty and staff are also eligible.
How are sports divided into leagues?
Different leagues of play account for differences in campus interests and participant safety levels. Intramural leagues include fraternity, graduate, housing, independent, women, recreational, and co-rec leagues. Fraternity, graduate, housing, and independent teams will compete for the school championship; women and co-rec teams also have their respective school championships; and recreational teams are mainly noncompetitive games for beginners.
