Overview
Intramural Sports offers a wide array of sports and activities that cater to virtually any member of the Western Carolina University community. More than 1300 students participate in over 40 various sports, events, and tournaments. All intramural sports are FREE to WCU students, faculty and staff. Participants are encouraged to form their own teams within the campus community either with friends, residence halls or clubs/organizations.
Leagues
League sports promote team participation across a season. Team captains create and sign up their team through imleagues. Leagues include Men's, Women's, CoRec and Greek. Depending on skill level teams can sign up for Competitive or Recreation divisions. All teams must be signed up by the registration date for that sport. If an individual does not have a team, he/she may sign up as a "free agent" through that sport.
Events and Tournaments
Events and tournaments are individual and dual sports, along with other non-traditional sports. Most weekday events start at 6:00pm and feature a single/double elimination tournament structure. All events and tournaments require pre-registration unless otherwise stated. For a complete list of activities, go to the "Schedule" link on the left or visit imleagues.
Spirit of Competition
Modern team sport activities find their origin in the basic human need for play. Winning and losing are mere outcomes of this play spirit. Actions such as: Abusive language, poor attitude, and manipulation of the rules to further winning are not "just part of the game."What is part of the game are the simple satisfaction of playing and the interdependence of teamwork, improving fitness, and enhancing friendships. Without your opponent, you have no game, no contest, and absolutely no fun. You are indebted to them as they are to you. In a fundamental way, then, competing against an opponent is based on cooperation. Upholding high standards of integrity and fair play acknowledges this idea of cooperative competition. An intentional violation of the rules, no matter how small, is considered cheating and a direct offense against these principles. One of the goals of the Intramural Sports Program is to promote lifetime skills through the venue of sports that offers meaning beyond that of a win or a loss, the memory of which fades quickly. All players are expected to play within the context of Western Carolina University Intramural Sports Program's Spirit of Competition
