Frequently Asked Questions about Intramural Sports

What are intramural sports?

Intramurals are competitive yet fun individual, dual and team sports, such as flag football, table tennis, badminton, kickball, volleyball, soccer, basketball, racquetball, tennis, sand volleyball, softball and golf.  Teams compete against each other within the ASU community. Divisions include men’s, women’s, co-recreational and open.

Is there a cost?

It is free to sign up a team if a representative attends the registration meeting. If your team misses the registration meeting, it must pay a $30 fee BEFORE 5 p.m. on the day after the registration meeting to enter the league.

Where do I sign up?

Registration meetings are held in the Center for Human Performance, Room 203. Fliers are posted at the CHP and around campus at least two weeks before the meeting for each sport.

Who can play intramural sports?

Anybody who has a valid ASU ID, including students, graduate students, staff and faculty, can play. You must present your ASU ID prior to each contest. Students must be 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 varies depending on the sport. Information on the minimum number of players required can be found in the Sport Rules. 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 (325) 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 p.m. whether to cancel games due to inclement weather. You can call the UREC Office after 3 p.m. 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 play on multiple teams as long as they are not in the same division.

Do I need a team to play?

No. We can put you on the Free Agents List and team captains who are looking for players may select anyone from that list. Free agents may also 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 that is on the bulletin board in the CHP hallway. Results are updated regularly on this bulletin board.

How long does the season last?

In team sports, each team is scheduled to play four games per regular season. Once the season is over, all teams will advance to a single-elimination tournament.

Where are the games played?

Intramural games are played at the intramural complex on Jackson Street (across from Texan Hall) or in the CHP gym.  

When a game is canceled 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 photos are taken and posted on the Champions Wall in the CHP hallway.

How can my team qualify for extramurals, the program that allows us to travel off campus and compete against other universities?

All team members are required to meet these criteria:

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 begins.

Where can I get more information?

If you are unable to find what you are looking for on the UREC Web site, feel free to call the UREC Office at (325) 942-2034 or email us.
