League & Division Information

It is up to the participant to choose the league and division that best fits their individual needs and skills. Leagues apply to Men’s, Women’s, Co-Rec, and Open with divisions (competitive and recreational) offered based upon interest. The intramural staff reserves the right to place or move teams and individuals to the appropriate division. The goal of this system is to have players seek competition at their own ability levels so that players of lesser skill can, and will, participate and enjoy some measure of success. Thus, novice players are welcomed and encouraged to participate in intramural activities. It may be necessary to combine leagues or divisions in the case of limited entries.

Leagues

Open

This league is open to all genders. The purpose of the open league is to promote friendly competition among all participants. This league does not have gender ratio requirements or gender specific playing rules. There may be open competitive and open recreational divisions offered per sport.

Co-Rec

This league is open to all genders and has gender ratio requirements and/or gender specific playing rules. See sport specific rules for gender ratio requirements and co-rec rule modifications. There may be co-rec competitive and co-rec recreational divisions offered per sport.

Womens

This league is open to all individuals who identify as women. Women’s competitive and women’s recreation divisions may be offered per sport.

Mens

This league is open to all individuals who identify as men. Men’s competitive and men’s recreation divisions may be offered per sport.

Divisions

Competitive

This level is the most competitive level of play and offered in sports that acquire enough entries to split levels between competitive and recreational. Teams are comprised of often highly skilled, competitive individuals, typically with prior playing experience.

Recreational

Teams participating at this level are less competitive than the competitive division. Player ability is not as important as having fun and socializing. Recreational divisions are offered for a range of interests including competitive play, social gathering and/or individuals learning a new sport.

Fac/Staff/Grad

This is a recreational division and applies to Flag Football, Basketball, Soccer, Softball and Volleyball. Competition is open to graduate students and faculty/staff members only. Undergraduate students may be permitted to participate in this division with permission from the Intramural Sports Program.
