Intramural Sports at NMU
Intramural Sports are the most popular extracurricular activity on campus and is a great way to meet new people, reconnect with friends, continue playing the sports you have grown to love, or try a new activity you've never played before. NMU Rec Sports offers team and individual leagues in which participants compete for the coveted intramural champion t-shirt. You can organize your own team or utilize the free agent list in hopes of getting picked up by another team looking for more players.
You don’t have to be a great athlete to create lasting athletic memories and great times as a member of an NMU intramural team. Each semester NMU Recreational Sports accepts suggestions of sports of interest to NMU students, faculty and staff, and Marquette community members.

League Schedules
Once a team is created on IMLeagues, captains will be able to fill out their team’s scheduling preferences. There is no guarantee that your team will be scheduled for these games, however, NMU Rec Sports will do their best to schedule the majority of your games within those preferences. Once registration has closed, teams will be notified when the league schedule is published on IMLeagues.
Team Captains
Each team captain will be required to attend the mandatory captain’s meeting. All captain meeting dates are posted on IMLeagues. If captains are unable to attend their scheduled meeting, they may send a representative in their place. The Intramural Handbook, specific sport rules, policies, and procedures will be discussed at the captain's meeting.
