Intramural Sports
Whether you’re showing up or showing off, there’s a team for you in intramural sports. Play alongside your besties, roommates, classmates, pledge class, or random strangers in a variety of sports and activities throughout the year. You get to pick the day and time that work for your team so you can still balance school, work, and everything else you have going on. All league winners receive a coveted champ shirt as well as campus bragging rights.

Sign Up to Play
Find all rules, schedules, team rosters, and results on Fusion Play. Once you’ve purchased your pass, you can browse our offerings and add yourself to an existing team or start your own!
Competitive Leagues
The competitive league (also known as the A league) is intended for those teams that have had some experience with organized play in that sport. This league is designed for teams whose primary objective is to win games.
Recreational Leagues
The recreational league is designed for teams whose primary objective is to enjoy intramural sports and to have fun; winning is secondary.
Unified Leagues
Join an inclusive league that unites Special Olympics athletes (individuals with intellectual disabilities) with partners (UW participants without intellectual disabilities) on the same team for training and competition. It’s a win-win-win.
Free Agency
Want to play but don’t have a team? Sign up for Free Agency on Fusion Play. Simply click the Free Agent button and complete your profile for other teams to start recruiting you. We also assist by matching up free agents to create teams.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Intramural Sports pass can be purchased from the Rec Well website, similar to other Rec Well memberships.
Interested participants can choose to sign up as a Free Agent, where other teams needing players can see their name and contact info to reach out and fill out their rosters. Free Agents can also reach out to teams directly about joining, so you don’t need to have a full team to get in on the action!
Teams will be scheduled for games once a week on the day and time they’ve signed up for. Participants are allowed to join one team in each league (Men’s, Women’s, CoRec, or Open), so play as much, or as little, as you’d like.
Winners will be going home with a limited edition Intramural Champion shirt, a coupon for a Free Slice at Ian’s Pizza, and bragging rights that will last forever.
Not at all. Most Intramural Sports are broken down into A and B leagues. A leagues are competition-focused and feature participants that consider winning to be their #1 priority. B leagues are centered around having fun and building community.
You can find all of our Intramural Sports offerings on our new league-management platform, Fusion Play. You can download the app for free to your mobile device.
