INTRAMURALS HOW TO SIGN UP A TEAM

ELIGIBILITY

All entries for team sports, individual and dual sports, and special events are handled by the intramural staff in the lobby of the Student Recreation Center. Registration times are listed on the calendar of events. Each team or individual must complete the entry card available in the lobby. You must provide the name of a captain with his/her UIN, phone number and e-mail address. Each captain must be a member of the team and will automatically be placed on the roster. You will also need an alternate captain’s (team manager) name, phone number, and e-mail address if signing up for a team sport.

In order to participate in intramural sports, a person must be a Rec member. This includes all Texas A&M students who have signed up for classes and paid the required Rec Sports fee, as well as faculty/staff who have purchased a semester or yearly Rec Sports membership.

Monthly, weekly, and/or daily passes to the Rec Center do not count as memberships and do not serve as a way to participate in intramural sports. Eligible participants may only participate on one (1) single gender and one (1) CoRec team in each sport.

CAPTAIN’S INFORMATION Captains are responsible for all operations of their team. If you choose to serve as captain, please make sure that you are able to communicate with your team.

The captain will need to communicate all information provided by the intramural office, understand the policies and procedures of intramural sports, complete required captain’s quizzes, promote good sportsmanship for his/ her team, check game updates and playoff brackets to know when the team plays, and take responsibility for all defaults and/or forfeits his/her team incurs.

LEAGUE FORMAT AND DAYS OF PLAY Summer sports are divided into three divisions (Men’s, Women’s, and CoRec). Those divisions are then subdivided into two classes (Competitive and Recreational). A team may sign up in the division that fits the style of team they are forming. Competitive is described as most team members are moderately to highly skilled players in the sport. Recreational is designed to be geared more toward novice to moderately skilled athletes in the respective sport. For summer intramural sports, each team will play twice a week during each session. All of the games will be played Monday and Wednesday OR Tuesday and Thursday based on the sport you sign up for. Contact the intramural office for more information.

The Texas A&M Sport Clubs Association provides the opportunity to compete against clubs from other collegiate institutions at the state, regional, or national level in 34 different sports, and allows members to learn or enhance their skills in a recreational setting. Each club is administered by students, has practice times and facilities, and receives some monetary support.

To help subsidize the cost of travel and equipment, clubs may charge dues and participate in fund-raising activities.

While the Sport Clubs staff and the Department of Recreational Sports assist clubs in securing needed funds, facilities and equipment, the emphasis is on student leadership and development.

Students are directly responsible for all aspects of operating and managing a successful, competitive organization. As a result, Sport Clubs present a unique opportunity for students to develop both athletic and leadership abilities.

Since 1974, the Sport Clubs program has captured over 150 overall team and singleevent national championships and hundreds of conference championships.

LIGHTNING PREDICTION SYSTEM In the event of dangerous conditions, the lightning prediction system will give one long horn blast (approximately 15 seconds) accompanied by a flashing light. Once the dangerous conditions have passed, three short horn blasts will sound that all is clear and the flashing lights will cease. In the event of a system warning please seek shelter.

LOCKERS Full, half, and box-size lockers may be rented for the entire year or by the semester. Any open lockers are made available for rental beginning the Thursday prior to the first class day of each semester. All full- and half-size locker rentals include complimentary towel service.

The last date to renew lockers will be clearly posted in each of the locker rooms. Rec lockers that have not been renewed by the requested date will be cleared and rented to a new user.

A fee will be assessed to retrieve items cleared from lockers.

Free day lockers are also located throughout the facility.
