For every high school athlete being recruited by some big time athletic program, there are many students who like to play sports, but might not want the added pressure of playing on a varsity team. For that reason the intramural Program has been a part of our campus for decades. Student-athletes should always be students first, and there are many opportunities to compete on the playing field outside of the varsity level. Intramural sports on our campus are mainly student-run, and allow students to compete for fun rather than conference championships.
