<p>Do you have to be good in the sport to play intramurals? Can you be a beginner? Who runs them and is it like a get-together where ppl play the sport? I'm kind of confused to what they are exactly. Could someone explain?</p>
<p>Usually the school runs them. And yes they end up as essentially people getting together into teams to just play - you don't have to be good. Here it's mostly frats facing off against each other for guys and srats for girls but independent teams form too.</p>
<p>What kind of sports are intramurals?</p>
<p>flag football, ultimate frisbee, soccer, softball, swimming, basketball, you name it, get enough folks for teams and you can play it...check w/ the college athletic dept...have fun.</p>
<p>try scoping out a game some time to get an idea of how intense the intramurals are - at d1 schools they tend to be a little more advanced b/c less people make it onto the varsity teams, but that all depends on the school..</p>
<p>At my school you have a choice of intramural A or B leagues. The B league is really just for fun and recreation, and the A league is more intense and competitive. B league has a lot of beginners and A league has a lot of ex-high school players.</p>
<p>yeah, that's how it is at my school (well we have high, middle, and low division) but basically you and a group of people fill out a roster for a sport, you submit it, and every week or so you have a game against other teams. It's fun, I recommend it.</p>
<p>That sounds fun, get to release some stresses over college.</p>
<p>they have almost every sport... people who play intramurals range from HS varsity athletes in the sport to people who have never played. They usually have different divisions.</p>
