personal, educational, ethical and physical development. Competition is offered in men’s, women’s and co-rec divisions. *Some restrictions apply to current and former intercollegiate team members.

How do I get involved?

Participation is completely voluntary. Sign-up online in imLeagues. Registering is quick and easy. Click on the imLeagues link in the left bar menu to set-up your imLeagues account. Note
that you must use your UAM email address. Check registration deadlines for each sport and enter a team, join a team or sign-up as a free agent before registration closes.**

What if I don’t have a team?

If you do not know enough people to make up your own team, sign-up in imLeagues as a free agent. Teams will be able to pick you up and add you to their roster.

What is Co-Rec?

Co-Rec stands for Co-Recreational, meaning males and females playing together on the same team. Special rules encourage more equal participation. Co-Rec events include basketball, table tennis, volleyball, mud Olympics and softball.

Does it cost to participate?

No! All IM activities are provided at no cost to all currently enrolled UAM students or UAM faculty and staff. Should you choose to protest a contest, a $10.00 protest fee (refundable if
protest is upheld) is required.

What do I need to play?

Besides the desire to have fun, play hard and exhibit good sportsmanship, appropriate athletic shoes and apparel must be worn. Equipment is provided for all IM activities. Most equipment is also available for check-out from the UC Rec ID Desk for practice.

How many games do I play?

Depending on the number of entries, teams usually play three pre-season games followed by a single elimination tournament, while individual and dual sports are usually scheduled as single or double elimination tournaments.
