1. What are intramurals?

Intramurals are a type of recreational sport. They are leagues set up to provide competition between students, faculty, and staff in a variety of different traditional and non-traditional sports. You sign up your team with your friends, residence hall, fraternity, sorority and we provide the leagues, the space, the officials and the equipment. For individual sports such as racquetball, trivia, bracket busters, etc., you sign yourself up and we provide the rest.

2. Does it cost to play?

All intramural activities, unless otherwise noted, are free to all students, faculty, and staff within the Colleges of the Fenway.

3. How do I sign up?

Go to How to Register and follow the simple instructions to sign up your team.

4. Does everyone on my team have to be from the same institution?

No. In fact, it is encouraged that you make teams with students, faculty, and staff from different institutions.

5. What do I do if I can't find anyone else to form a team with, but I still want to play?

You can send an e-mail to Brad Tittrington and list what sport you would like to play and you will receive an e-mail with a list of captain's who have signed up a team. Just send them an e-mail and see if they need extra players.

6. What if there is a sport I am interested in, but it isn't offered?

Send an e-mail to Brad Tittrington and let him know what sports and activities you would like to see in the upcoming semester.

7. Do I have to have experience in order to play?

No. Intramurals are open to everyone of every skill level. A and B leagues are offered to give those who want more competition and for those who want to be recreational.

8. Are there practices?

Unlike varsity and club sports, intramurals are less rigid. Teams may choose to get together and practice, but there is no mandatory practice for participation.

9. Can I play on more than 1 team?

You may only play for one team in each league. You can play for 1 men's or women's team and one co-recreational league. You can not play on an A and a B league in the same league (no men's A and Men's B).

10. Can women play in the men's league?

Each team may have one female on their team for the men's league. If you have more than 1 female on your team, you must play in the co-recreational leagues. If there are no women's leagues available or co-recreational leagues available in a particular event, then you can have as many women on your team as you like.

11. I would like to be more involved in intramurals. How do I go about this?

If you are interested in helping the COF Intramural Program grow and would like to be a part of the Intramural Advisory Board (IAB), contact Brad Tittrington.

12. What is the difference between intramural sports, extramural sports, and club sports?

Intramural sports are events which take place within a certain institution. Each event is usually held once a week and there are no mandatory practices. Extramural Sports are an extension of intramurals and teams will play other teams from other insitutions. The Regional Flag Football and Basketball tournaments are an example of an extramural sport. Club sports are a level above intramurals and a level below Varsity Athletics. They require more time and travel and often cost money to participate. Teams normally form and play schools from across the country in different leagues.

13. Are there COF Club Sports available?

At this time, we are working on getting Club Sports as a functional part of the COF Recreational Sports experience. Look for a listing of sports in the near future. If you would like to see a particular club sport offered in the future, please send an e-mail to Brad Tittrington and let him know what sports you would be interested in seeing at the club level.
