Overall Philosophy
The goal of Gustavus Intramurals is to provide the students of Gustavus with a recreational program that offers a variety of alternatives to "free play" and varsity athletics in terms of organization and competitiveness. The program seeks to provide traditional team and individual activities and recreation at a less competitive level. Intramural participation should provide a physical outlet that complements the academic life on campus. Intramurals promote good sportsmanship through a variety of team, individual and co-ed activities that enhance the potential for social growth.
Through intramurals, we attempt to provide opportunities to participate in recreational activities for as many students as possible. It is a program run by students, for students. It depends completely on the cooperation of all parties involved. Team captains accept the responsibility for their team knowing and abiding by the rules of the game, being ready for scheduled activities on time and most importantly that the team participates in a way that exhibits good sportsmanship.

Spring sports are underway! Leagues that are currently running:
Co-ed Softball
Cornhole
Sand Volleyball
Follow along through the season using the spreadsheets linked above and our Instagram account @gustieintramurals!
League Descriptions:
Competitive League: This league offers a competitive environment for participants. All games will be assigned/scheduled and scores/results will be entered into the intramural league spreadsheet. At the end of the season, a playoff bracket will decide the champions. The captain of each team will agree with the opponent's captain on the game's score, and the captain from the WINNING team will report the score directly onto the league's spreadsheet.
We are looking for IM student-workers to provide scorekeepers and referees for all competitive league match ups. Email tonyadamczak@gustavus.edu if you’re interested in this work-study opportunity.
If no student workers are available, the teams should officiate/call the game by themselves and keep score themselves on the scoreboard.
Semi-Competitive League: This league is a mix of Competitive and Social. Games will be scheduled but not taken too seriously and simply there for the exercise, fun and involvement. Scores will not be recorded, nor will there be scoreboards or officials unless those participating want to keep score.
Social League: This league offers a more social environment for participants. Games will not be scheduled and will instead have “open play times” each week. Any player who is registered can show up to play. This is an opportunity to learn/practice a new sport or enjoy a sport you already know how to play in a relaxed environment. Our social leagues are also a great way to participate in Intramural sports without needing a full team! Individuals or small groups are highly encouraged to sign up.
Co-ed Leagues: Co-ed broom ball and co-ed basketball require a minimum of 3 females on the team and a minimum of 2 playing at all times. Co-ed Softball requires a minimum of 4 females on a team and 3 out in the field at all times. All players must hit.
Facilities
All games will be played either in the Lund Forum (on the blue side), Gus Young Court, West Fields or the sand volleyball courts by Complex and Pittman. 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 in competitive and social leagues.
