Intramurals

Why Intramurals?

Recreational activities and competitive sports are a valuable part of the liberal arts experience. These physical activities are part of a life-long learning process and complement the academic and artistic knowledge gained at Lawrence. A wide variety of intramural programming is geared toward promoting healthy living through physical fitness, social interaction, skill development, and varying levels of competition.

Wellness Services Intramurals Program gives students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to participate in recreational and competitive athletic activities. It is also a great chance for all members of the college community to interact in a extra-curricular environment.

Intercollegiate Athlete Eligibility

Specific sports may have rules concerning the participation of intercollegiate athletes. Intercollegiate athletes are defined as individuals who are practicing or competing with a team recognized as a varsity sport. Membership on a varsity team in the season of that sport makes a player ineligible for that same or like sport during the intramural season.

An intercollegiate athlete will be eligible to participate in Intramural offerings (of their sport or a sport like their own) when their 4-year eligibility has expired or if they have been inactive from the sport for one full year. An intercollegiate athlete playing a sport other than their own or a sport like their own is perfectly acceptable.
