TEAM CAPTAIN’S MEETING:
All captain’s meetings will be held online through IMLeagues. It is MANDATORY for all captains to take the online quiz and score 80% in order to register your team. The quiz will contain sports specific questions as well as general Intramural Sport policies.

ENTRY FEE:
In addition to signing your team up on IMLeagues during the specific registration period, a team member must stop at the front desk of the Koury Recreation Center and pay your $20 team fee.
