Intramurals

This depends on what YOU want to do! If you are only looking for one game per week, we have that for you. If you want more, then you can join multiple teams/sports to compete in! Each game is typically 30-45 minutes long.

First, you’ll want to create an account on IMLeagues.com/Valpo. Once you create your account with your Valpo email, you can navigate throughout the website to see our current offerings!

Players can utilize the free agency system on IMLeagues and can be invited to a team, or sometimes teams are looking for players and you can request to join their team. If neither of these options are working, please contact intramurals@valpo.edu and we will do our best to find you a team!

We offer a variety of leagues and tournaments throughout the academic year. These range from your traditional sports of basketball, flag football, softball, volleyball, floor hockey, dodgeball, kickball, wiffleball, and soccer, to euchre, cornhole, esports, bowling, and much more! 

Undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty/staff/spouses, and even alumni (one per team), can participate, provided they have a valid Valpo OneCard/ID.

This depends on the sport/league/tournament. Typically, league fees are $25 per team. For tournaments, fees can range from $2/person to $10/team. All fees will be listed on the IMLeagues sport page. 

To pay for intramural sports team fees or special event fees, please use the link below for online payment.

Intramural sports provide an opportunity for participants of all skill levels and experiences to play in a structured league/tournament, against other members of the Valparaiso University community. Club Sports are student-run organizations that provide an extended opportunity for students to engage in competition at a level higher than intramural sports. Some clubs will compete locally, regionally, or nationally against other universities.

A copy of the intramural sports handbook & rules can be found on IMLeagues!
