Intramural Sports FAQs

All University of Oklahoma students (Norman, OKC and Tulsa) who are currently enrolled for the semester are eligible to participate in Intramural Sports. Norman Campus, Research Campus and OUHSC faculty/staff may participate in Intramural Sports. All students, faculty and staff must have legal entry into all facilities to participate in Intramural Sports activities.

For a step-by-step process on how to create a team, follow these steps:

  1. Log into your IMLeagues account.
  2. Click your desired league from the sports displayed; click “Register/Signup” and then “Create Team.”
  3. Select your desired division and complete the remaining information.
  4. Watch the informational video (if necessary).
  5. Complete the captain’s quiz (if necessary).

Team Registration

All individuals who wish to play a sport, but do not have a team, may sign up as a free agent. Free agents can find a team by going to IMLeagues. Teams that are looking for additional players will allow you to join a team that has already been created.

Intramural Sports participants are free to participate as much or as little as they want. The Intramural Sports Department does not schedule practice times for teams. Participants are free to use our facilities to practice, but teams must follow the rules and restrictions of our recreation facilities. 

Each participant may play on ONE same gender team and ONE coed team (if applicable) per sport.

Players may only be added to rosters if they have not played for any other team during that specific sport. Players may be added to a roster at any time, including during a game already in progress. Players can be added to a roster online within IMLeagues

Special circumstances must be discussed with Jonathan Dewhirst, Intramural Sports Coordinator.

Do not assume that your game is cancelled due to weather. Do not call the Sarkeys Fitness Center asking questions regarding weather. The Intramural Sports Department will use TwitterIMLeagues, and e-mail participants.

Each participant must provide their own Sooner Card ID to the Intramural Sports Staff prior to competition.

Each individual will receive an Intramural Sports Championship t-shirt.
