Intramural Sports

Intramural Sports are designed for Kent State students to participate in a fun, safe, and recreational environment while playing a sport they love or trying something new! We offer a combination of indoor and outdoor activities throughout each semester. Our activities occur as leagues, tournaments or special events and may consist of various divisions. Our typical league format consists of 3 weeks of pool play games followed by a single elimination tournament. Tournaments and special events can be a single night or multiple evenings.

We welcome over 1,500 participants each semester across more than 150 teams! Along with bragging rights, each winner receives an illustrious intramural champion shirt, will be featured in the SRWC and on our website in the champions gallery.

Please use the links in the gray box on the left (bottom of the page on mobile) to find more information, or contact the Competitive Sports Coordinator with any questions.

Free Agents

Looking for a team? Individuals who are interested in an activity, but need a team to play on can sign up as a Free Agent. Free Agents are responsible for finding a team to join. To sign up as a free agent you must do the following:

  1. Follow steps 1 - 4 in the “How to Create an IM Leagues Account" section to login.
  2. Find the sport and league you wish to play, and select, "JOIN AS FREE AGENT."
  3. You may request to join any team that has enabled the “Looking for Free Agents” setting.
  4. Be proactive and reach out to teams or go to fields/courts during activity periods.
  5. If enough free agents register, we will combine them to make their own team.

We cannot guarantee that a free agent team will be possible for every activity.
