Intramural Sports
What Are Intramural Sports?
The Intramural Sports program provides a diverse array of activities for students, faculty, and staff to stay active, create memories, and build friendships through engagement with the university community. All skills levels are welcome.
Intramural sports promote individual and team play in league and tournament formats. Over 60 men’s, women’s, co-rec, and open leagues are offered to students, faculty, and staff who wish to recreate in structured activities. Our staff will strive to further teamwork, respect, fun, and family. Come as you are and EXPERIENCE Intramurals!
Structured league play will be offered in a block format with two blocks per semester, four blocks per year. One-day tournaments and special events will be interspersed throughout each semester. The format, offerings, and season length will vary depending upon the activity.
Registration + Payment Information
To register for Intramural Sports at UWEC, visit imleagues.com/uwec and register for an account. You will be asked to log-in with your university credentials. All sport and event registrations occur through UWEC’s IMLeagues portal. Please enter all necessary information accurately. Registration periods for most activities will open on Thursdays at 12pm and close the following Thursday at 12pm.
Mandatory captain’s meetings will be held the Sunday prior to the beginning of each block.
The Intramural Sports program traditionally used a one-time payment made by the captain at the time of team registration, but this year we are moving to a new system, known as the Play Pass. The Play Pass requires individuals to make their own payment to play when they join a roster or create a team. This will remove the team registration burden from the captain who had paid for the whole team in the past.
With the pass options an individual can purchase an annual play pass, a semester play pass, a single sport team pass, or a tournament pass.
Annual Pass - $30
This pass can be purchased for the entire academic year and will allow for unlimited intramural play. Students with this pass can enroll on as many teams as they wish, as long as they follow the individual league rules. When this pass is purchased, there will be no need to purchase any other passes for the entire academic year. The pass expires after playoffs of the second semester of the academic year (May). Participants must have a valid UWEC Blugold ID to participate in Intramurals. No refunds will be issued.
Semester Play Pass - $20
This pass can be purchased for the entire semester and will allow for unlimited semester intramural play. Students with this pass can enroll on as many teams as they want, as long as they follow the individual league rules. When this pass is purchased, there will be no need to purchase any other passes for the entire semester. The semester pass expires after playoffs of the second block or sports in the Fall semester. Participants must have a valid UWEC Blugold ID to participate in Intramurals. No refunds will be issued.
Single Sport Team Pass - $8
This pass can be purchased at any point during the semester and will allow for a student to join one intramural team. Students with this pass can enroll on any team in any league as long as they meet the requirements of the league. When this pass is purchased, a student can join their one team. The pass expires upon joining any single team in intramurals. Participants must have a valid UWEC Blugold ID to participate in Intramurals. Refunds will not be given for a single team pass. One purchase of this pass will count towards a credit on the semester pass if a player chooses to upgrade after an initial purchase of the single team pass. Renewing the single team pass will not count towards continued credits on an upgrade.
Tournament Pass - $5
This pass can be purchased at any point during the year and will allow for a student to participate in one intramural tournament (i.e. non-league). Students with this pass can enroll on any tournament team in any league as long as they meet the requirements of the sport. When this pass is purchased, a student can join their one team. The pass expires upon joining any single team in a designated intramural tournament. Participants must have a valid UWEC Blugold ID to participate in Intramurals. Refunds will not be given for a tournament pass.

The Intramural Sports Program requires full teams for most league play. Any participant wishing to participate, but is unable to create a team of their own, should follow these steps to become a Free Agent:
- Sign up on the Free Agent list in their desired activity on IMLeagues to become eligible to be picked up by another team within that league. Please include your contact information and what days you are available to play
- If there are enough “Free Agents” within a given league, the Intramural Sports Coordinator will attempt to create a free agents team.
- Team captains can select “Free Agents Wanted” if they are in need of more participants.
- Joining as a Free Agent does not guarantee that you will be placed on a team. It is in your best interest to reach out to team captains throughout the registration period.
Team numbers vary dependent upon the sport you are playing. The number of players can be found I the rules document for each sport. There will be a minimum number of players required to start a game as well as a maximum amount allowed on a roster.

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Recreation Program strives to conduct all activities in the safest manner possible. However, due to the inherent risk of accident or injury in any activity, it is the responsibility of each participant to have insurance, to be aware that there are assumed risks involved in participating, and that participation is entirely voluntary.
