Intramurals
The intramural sports program is available for all students, employees and employee’s spouses to have the opportunity to participate in fair, safe and recreational sports programs. This program is designed so the beginner and the expert may benefit and enjoy the attributes of physical recreation.
The intramural program also gives its participants the opportunity to compete in individual sports skills or team/club competition. This competition helps foster one’s relationship with teammates, opponents, officials and spectators. This not only helps one develop physical skills but contributes to the development of the mental and social skills necessary for life.
