Get in the Game: Intramural Sports Return to East Texas A&M This Fall

East Texas A&M University students looking for a fun, low-stress way to stay active will have plenty of opportunities this semester through the intramural sports program provided by Campus Recreation.

Intramural sports bridge the gap between competitive athletics and casual play, offering a chance for students to compete, meet new people and build lasting memories.

“Intramurals are all about giving students a chance to stay active, make friends and play the sports they enjoyed in high school without the huge time commitment,” said Coordinator of Sports Programs Xavier Deloatch. “It's free, it's fun and it's a great way to be part of the ETAMU community.”

This semester's lineup includes a mix of leagues and tournaments:

  • Fantasy football
  • Coed sand volleyball
  • Flag football
  • Ultimate Frisbee
  • Tennis singles
  • Pickleball
  • Soccer
  • Volleyball
  • Futsal
  • Golf scramble
  • Cricket
  • Dodgeball
  • Badminton singles
  • Super Smash Bros
  • NBA 2K
  • Table tennis singles
  • 3v3 basketball

Most leagues run three to four weeks with weekly games, followed by playoffs and a chance to win championship prizes.

Registration is free for all current East Texas A&M students, faculty and staff with a Campus Rec membership. Students can sign up individually or as part of a team through IMLeagues.com.

With many sports offered throughout the year, Campus Recreation encourages students to get involved.

“Sports are a healthy way to have fun, create memories and develop teamwork and leadership skills that will last a lifetime,” Deloatch said.

Registration ends for some of the sports on September 2. For deadlines and game schedules, visit MANESync. Follow the Community Calendar to stay abreast of Campus Rec activities and other events.
