REGISTER ONLINE AT HTTPS://IMLEAGUES.COM/TAMU FROM 12PM - 6PM ON DAYS LISTED. *The registration process for intramural sports is going to be conducted completely online. Payment will only be accepted with a credit card. If you are unable to pay by credit card, you will need to come to the intramural office prior to the online registration period to pay by cash to be able to sign up online. Team captains who miss the 6pm registration deadline can come by the intramural office the following day; we will do our best to accommodate teams, but cannot guarantee a spot will be available after the registration deadline. All tournaments are single-day events, meaning they will be completed in one evening. All other sports will be played in a league format, followed by all teams qualifying for a singleelimination tournament. League format will be determined by number of registered teams.

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 300 overall team and single-event national championships and hundreds of conference championships. For more information, the names of current club representatives, and Sport Clubs event schedules, visit the Sport Clubs Office in the Rec Center (room 250), call 979.862.1996, e-mail sportclubs@rec.tamu.edu, or visit our website at recsports.tamu.edu.
