If a participant forgets to bring their SVSU issued ID to a game/match or event they will NOT be allowed to participate in that game/match or event.

1. Get a group of people together to start a team.
2. Each person individually logs in to IMLeagues (imleagues.com/svsu) using their SVSU email.  Even if you have not participated in Intramurals before, do not create an account. Simply log in.
3. Create or join a team on IMLeagues. Created teams must be made by registration deadline.
4. Pay the entry fee by the registration deadline at the Campus Recreation Center Office or online at online.
5. The captain must complete the mandatory online captain’s meeting and quiz. If a team captain fails to complete the meeting, your team will not be eligible for playoffs.
6. Schedules will be released by the weekend before the start of the season.
7. Don’t have a team? Sign up as a “free agent” on IMLeagues. Teams can select from this pool if they still need players. You may also:

• Check imLeagues.com for teams that are looking for players. “Still Looking” will show up beneath their team name on IMLeagues.
• Alternatively, you can attempt to join a team without a full roster anytime during the first three weeks of the season by contacting team captains directly through IMLeagues’ message system.

 If you have any questions or concerns regarding registration, contact Campus Recreation at 989.964.7321 or email campusrec@svsu.edu.

Yes, you must be a current SVSU student, faculty, or staff member to participate. All current students who pay SVSU tuition for classes on the University Center campus are eligible. Also, any faculty or staff member who has a Ryder Center membership is eligible. Alumni of SVSU are not eligible to participate in intramural activities.

An athlete listed on a varsity athletic roster for the current academic year or participating in varsity or junior varsity workouts for a parallel sport during the current academic year is ineligible to participate during the current year. A former collegiate varsity letter winner may participate providing one academic year is “sat out." (e.g. A varsity basketball player is not eligible to participate in intramural basketball, but is eligible for any other sports.)

Each team is limited to a maximum of two current club sport members, two former varsity athletes, OR one current club sport member and one former varsity athlete for a parallel sport (e.g. A intramural team may have one club soccer player and one former varsity soccer player. A former varsity football player would not count as a varsity athlete if they are on the roster for a intramural soccer team).  

Clear any eligibility questions with the Intramural Coordinators.

The roster limit varies depending on the sport. Most sports that need five or fewer players at a time has a limit of seven. With bigger sports having a roster limit of twelve. The roster limits for each sport are listed with the sport when you register.

No. A player is only eligible to play on one team per league. However, a player may participate on multiple teams as long as the leagues are different.  For example, a player is allowed to participate on one Coed team while participating in a Men's or Women's league. A player may also participate on a power division as well as a rec division.

Campus Recreation is not responsible for time conflicts that may result or will not take any extra actions to help participants who decide to play in multiple divisions.

A default occurs when a team captain contacts the Intramural Coordinator at least 8 hours in advance to inform them that their team will be unable to attend their contest. The game is recorded as a loss but no further action takes place.

A forfeit occurs when a team does not have the minimum number of players present and legally signed in at game time (or by five minutes past scheduled game time in some cases). In this case, the game is forfeited and the team receives a loss. If a team forfeits a game they will no longer be qualified for playoffs.

For all season long sports, playoffs will consist of a single elimination tournament. The number of teams that make playoffs will vary based on the sport and teams that are registered.

In order to qualify for playoffs, all teams must meet the following guidelines:

• Completed the online mandatory captain’s quiz
• Have no forfeits during regular season play
• Maintain a sportsmanship rating of at least a 2.5

Sports officials and scorekeepers are typically hired in the Fall Semester of each school year. Officials are hired on an as needed basis based on officiating experience, qualifications, and personal skill set. Students interested in officiating intramural events must apply via the Cardinal Career Network and attend mandatory training.  Please visit Career Services page to view all current on campus employment opportunities.

Valid protests include: player eligibility or score discrepancy. Player eligibility and game protests must be reported immediately to the Intramural Coordinator or the Intramural Supervisor on-duty. A protest of an official’s judgment call is invalid.

Please review the Intramural Handbook for the exact procedure regarding protests.
