What are Intramural Sports?

Teams compete against each other within the ASU community. Divisions include Men’s, Women’s, Co-Recreational, and Open leagues.
Is there a cost?
It is free to sign up a team if a representative attends the registration meeting. If you miss the registration meeting, you must pay a $30 fee BEFORE 5:00pm on the day after the registration meeting to enter the league.
Where do I sign up?
Registration meetings are held in the CHP, Room 203. Flyers are posted at the CHP and around campus at least 2 weeks before the meeting for each sport.
Who can play Intramural Sports?
Any individual who has a valid ASU ID, which includes students, graduate students, staff and faculty. You must present your ASU ID prior to each contest. Students must be currently enrolled in at least one class at ASU.
How many players do I need for the team?
The number of players required for a team is different depending on the sport. Information on the minimum number of players required can be found in the Sport Rules. In order to avoid a forfeit, you must have the minimum number of players present at game time.
What if my team cannot play a scheduled game?
Call the UREC office at 942-2034 at least 12 hours in advance to cancel a game. If your team does not show up and does not call, a $30 forfeit fee must be paid within 48 hours of the next scheduled game to reinstate the team.
What if we are scheduled to play and the weather is bad?
We will make a decision at 3:00pm whether or not to cancel games due to inclement weather. You can call the UREC office after 3:00pm for information about cancellations. We will play in all types of conditions that are not deemed dangerous or pose a safety concern.
Can I play on more than one team?
Yes, you can as long as they are not two teams in the same division.
Do I need a team to play?
If you do not already have a team, it doesn’t mean you have to miss out. We can put you on the free agents list. Team captains who are looking for players may select anyone who has signed up on the list or free agents can create their own team.
When and where are the brackets and results posted?
The brackets are posted at noon on the Friday before the games begin. You can find them at the official intramural posting site which is on the bulletin board in the CHP hallway. Results are updated on this bulletin board.
How long does the season last?
In team sports, each team is scheduled to play 4 games per regular season. Once the season is over, all teams will advance to a single elimination tournament.
Where are the games played?
Iintramural games are played at the intramural complex on Jackson Street across from Texas Hall or in the CHP gym.
When a game is cancelled due to bad weather, is it rescheduled?
Regular season games are not re-scheduled; however, playoff games will be rescheduled.
If I win, what do I get?
Winners get an intramural champion t-shirt and their photo is taken which is posted on the Champions Wall in the CHP hallway.
How can my team qualify for extramurals where we travel off campus and compete against other universities?
All of these criteria must be met: Team members 1) must be enrolled in at least 6 hours at ASU; 2) maintain a minimum of a 2.0 cumulative GPA and be in good standing with the University; 3) must not have been ejected during that sport season; and 4) must not have demonstrated repetitive unsportsmanlike behavior in any intramural sports activity.
Can I work for Intramurals?
Most definitely. We are always looking for great officials to referee our events and scorekeepers to keep score. There are training sessions for officials before each of the team sports begin.
