Intramural Sports

Intramural Sports provides an opportunity to participate in a variety of recreational sports and activities for people of all skill levels: from those never having played before looking to learn a new game to those who want a competitive contest. Intramural Sports welcomes any and everyone while engaging in teamwork, fair play, and self-awareness.

Winter 2025

Registration for Winter 2025 Leagues is now open!

General Information

All participants must purchase the quarterly IM Pass and have a SUID to participate in Intramural Sports! Courtesy Members can email Josiah Riley (jriley20@stanford.edu) with any questions. 

Intramural Sports functions in two formats: leagues and tournaments. Both provide the opportunity for varying levels of competition, intensity of play, and skill level. See below for details on leagues and tournaments. Please note that formats are subject to change based on time restrictions, facility constraints, and registration.

Leagues

Intramural Sport offers over 20 Leagues, both individual and team sports, with a premiere sport being offered each quarter:

  • Flag Football: Fall Quarter
  • Basketball: Winter Quarter
  • Soccer: Spring Quarter
  • Softball: Summer Quarter

Each league typically consists of a four/five-week regular season, followed by a single-elimination postseason tournament. These leagues have no gender restrictions (“Open-Gender”). All games will be subject to change based on facility availability and weather. Games are not typically rescheduled unless deemed necessary by the Intramural Sports Office. 

Tournaments

Intramural Sport Tournaments are organized recreational sport activities, such as table tennis, badminton, spikeball, and more, where teams play a few competitive match-ups (pool play games) and then participate in a single-elimination tournament all within 1-2 days

Divisions

  • Open A: Highly Competitive - Skilled Competition for participants who want to compete at a highly competitive level. 
  • Open B: Competitive - Competition for skilled but not as competitive participants. 
  • Open C: Recreational - Players are competing at a recreational level that focus on learning and having fun in a non-competitive environment

Leagues and tournaments are on a first come first serve basis. Space is limited. We encourage all participants to register during the first day of registration. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive communications on quarterly registration dates.
