Intramural Sports – old (2025)

Rec Sports offers dozens of intramural activities each semester, and in a wide range of skill levels. Below is some information about participating in Intramural Sports at Texas A&M:

• Whether you’re a star athlete looking to relive the glory days, a beginner out to try something new, or something in between, Intramural Sports has something for you! Most activities offer competitive and recreational skill levels, and some naturally lend to a more competitive environment than others.
• Unlike Sport Clubs, Intramural Sports are less formal in that all games are played on Texas A&M’s campus, most teams don’t hold practices, and the cost to join is minimal.
• Participants often report many benefits of joining, including improvements in physical, social, and mental health.
• Participating takes up less of your time than you might think! For most activities, each team you join only takes about an hour of time commitment each week.

Registration, game schedules, and roster management are all completely online through the Texas A&M IMLeagues page. To play Intramural Sports for the first time, please follow the instructions below:

• Complete your purchase.

Step 3 – Create or Join a Team

To Create a Team:

• Click your desired sport and league from the options displayed and “+Create team.”
• Agree to sport waiver and fill in your team information as prompted. Submit your team.
• From your team page, invite friends or accept invites from friends to join your team.

To Join a Team:

• Accept a request from the captain to join his/her team through email or IMLeagues OR
• Find the team and captain name on the division/league page and request to join.

Anyone with an active Rec Sports membership is eligible to purchase their preferred Intramural Pass. No player will be able to participate in Intramural Sports without first possessing the membership. Beyond the Rec Sports membership and a valid pass, there are no other fees associated with participation in Intramural Sports (i.e. there is no additional fee to create a team).

There are three types of passes that you may purchase to participate in Intramural Sports

• Unlimited Play Pass– grants access to participate in all leagues, tournaments, and special events for the current semester. Players purchasing this pass are still confined to the traditional Intramural Sports league restrictions – for example, participants cannot play on more than one team in the same league. Fall and spring passes are $25, and summer passes are $5, which includes both sessions.
• Tournament Pass – grants access to participate in any ONE tournament or special event for the current semester. The pass is good for the duration of that tournament, no matter how many games are played or over how many days the tournament takes place.
• Single-Use (24 Hour) Pass – grants access to participate in any ONE game during the current semester. The pass will always expire within 24 hours of the time of purchase.

If you later decide you want to upgrade from a Tournament Pass or a Single-Game Pass to an Unlimited Play Pass, you may do so at any time. The system will automatically charge you the difference in your “upgrade.”

No refunds will be issued if you choose to purchase any version of the pass and ultimately choose not to join a team.

If an individual needs help finding a team to join, the free agent program can provide assistance in getting that person placed on a team that is looking for players. To begin the process of officially becoming a recognized free agent, first go tohttp://imleagues.com/tamuand create an account, if you have not done so already.

From there, choose the sport you wish to join. Then, you can show as a free agent in as many divisions within a league as you’d like. For example, you might want to list yourself as available in four different Coed Competitive Sand Volleyball divisions, because they work in your schedule – CC01 Monday 6:30, CC04 Tuesday 7:20, CC06 Wednesday 9:00, and CC07 Thursday 9:50. Choose one of those divisions and click on the green button that says “Register/Signup.” You will sign up as a free agent and can provide further information on your background in that sport, if you wish to do so. You can also check additional divisions in this league from this same page. Ultimately, following this process helps team captains as they seek out players to add to their roster, if they so choose.

The Intramural Sports Office tries to facilitate matches between free agents and teams seeking free agents prior to the start of each season. Understand that there is sometimes no perfect solution, so there are also no guarantees about being placed on a team. Feel free to contact the Intramural Office at (979) 862-1884 for additional information.

• Officials work approximately 6-12 hours a week; however, some work more and there are many opportunities to do so. Your schedule depends on your availability, and Intramural Sports understands that you are a student FIRST.
• Intramural sports officials may be scheduled Sundaysthrough Thursdays from 5:30 pm to midnight. Sometimes Sunday starts as early at 3:30 pm and is our most demanding day for staff and requires some availability. While there are no intramural events scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays, intramural officials can also earn extra cash by being available for special events on those days.
