Say hello to Michigan Recreation! Beginning fall 2025 we will be changing our name from Recreational Sports to Michigan Recreation. Click here to get the whole story.

Intramural Sports

Get out there and have some fun! You can form a team and join an intramural league with weekly matches. Or, if you don’t want to commit to a season of play, you can opt to participate in our tournaments. In any case, intramurals are an opportunity to get active, have fun and meet some like-minded friends. Want to play, but can’t find a team? You can join as a Free Agent.

League Structure

Sports will be offered in a variety of leagues (Men’s, Women’s, Co-Rec, Grad/Fac/Staff, or Open) depending on the size of the sport and the demand.

Within these leagues, we will have divisions that allow participants to better choose the competitive level that best fits their needs. You can find information on each of these divisions below!

There are 3 Division Types. Expand all into a list.

Competitive

This is our highest level of competition offered, and is for those players and teams who are looking for higher levels of competitive games.

Players should expect to compete against other players or teams who have a familiar skill level or experience with the sport.

All teams or players will be eligible for playoffs and the chance to compete for a championship.

Recreational

This is our traditional level of competition for students that is both a mix of the social and competitive atmospheres.

Skill levels can vary from brand new to very experienced, but the emphasis is on those who are looking to enjoy the game/competition while socializing or being around others.

All teams or players will be eligible for playoffs and the chance to compete for a championship.

Social

This division is focused on broadening our offerings to be more inclusive of those who may be new to the sport and don’t care about wins or losses, or those who love the game but just want to play for fun.

Social divisions are to make friends, have fun, and increase one’s social and physical well-being.
