Welcome to Gustavus Intramurals!
Fall sports are underway! Follow along with our leagues:
SIGN UP HERE
Our goal is to provide Gustavus students with a recreational program that offers a happy medium between "free play" and varsity athletics in terms of organization and competitiveness. We promote good sportsmanship, hoping to create an enjoyable physical outlet to academic life on campus. It is a program run by students, for students. Through intramurals, we attempt to provide opportunities to participate in recreational activities for as many students as possible.
In order to maintain a fun and enjoyable environment, we depend on the cooperation of all parties involved. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by the rules of the game, being ready for scheduled activities on time, and most importantly, participating in a way that exhibits good sportsmanship. With the help of our fellow Gusties, we find joy in building an inclusive community where all students are welcome to socialize and participate in fun physical activities!
League Descriptions
Our six-week leagues are designed to offer students a multitude of activities without the burnout of a long season. We offer two seasons each semester with fall, winter, and spring break providing natural ending points. Our schedule typically allocates a specific day of the week for each activity with some exceptions for larger leagues. This gives students a consistent schedule that allows them to fully commit a block of time to the sports they sign up for.
Co-ed Softball: Sunday afternoons at Jefferson Park (9+ Players)
- Everyone bats. Minimum of 4 females on the team and 3 in the field at all times.
- 7 innings or 60 minutes, whichever comes first.
- We use a 16” chicago ball, which is a little bigger and softer than a softball.
- Gloves are optional. Bats and balls are provided, gloves are not.
- One-Bounce Rule: If the ball bounces once in the outfield grass, it can still be caught for an out.
Cornhole: Monday nights, location TBD (2 Players)
- Matches are played as two games to 21.
- Playoff matches are best of 3 games to 21.
Sand Volleyball: Wednesday nights at the Complex court (6+ Players)
- 6 players on the court for each team.
- Matches are best of 3 sets. The first two sets are to 15 and the third set to 10, if necessary.
- Playoff matches will be played in sets to 25 with a tiebreaker 3rd set to 15.
Spikeball: Monday nights, location TBD (2 Players)
- Matches are played as one game to 21.
*Additional dates may be added based on numbers. We can be flexible with the schedule to make sure your team is available for all games!
One-Off Tournaments: As a developing area of our program, we are planning to offer occasional one-day or weekend tournaments for sports that may not draw enough interest for a full season. Stay tuned for a potential homecoming kickball tournament and more events to come in the future!
Facilities
Fall and spring sports are scheduled outdoors as much as possible, while winter sports are played primarily in the Lund Forum and Gus Young Court. All events are on-campus, the only exception being softball, which is played at Jefferson Park. Equipment will be provided unless specified in the league description.
Please bring your Gustavus ID to access the Lund Forum. Reminder, you MUST fill out a waiver to play intramural sports.

Interested in working for Gustavus Intramurals?
We are hoping to expand our student worker pool to provide supervisors and referees for more IM events. Being a student worker allows you to develop skills in event management, communication, and media, while helping build an engaging community here at Gustavus.
