Intramurals
Players can sign up for Intramuals as a team or free agent.
If you’re registering a team, you’ll need to identify a team captain.
The team captain is our main point on contact that the league office communicates with for any league specific information.
Some of the duties of the team captain include:
- Ensure all players are on the team roster and no INELIGIBLE players take the field of play.
- Ensure all players are aware of the specific rules of the sport they are playing.
- Ensure all players are aware of the team schedule and other league resources found on IMLeagues.
- Ensure all players attend Protest & Appeals when ejected from games or receive major disciplinary action.
- Ensure all players team spectators understand that alcohol is prohibited on all fields of play and no one is allowed to play while under the influence of alcohol or any illicit drugs.
- Ensure that all referees and other participants are treated with respect.
All other captain information including: captain's quiz, rule books, schedules, stats an standings can be found on IMLeagues.
If you’re registering as a free agent, we will place you on a team of fellow free agent’s.
Free Agents are individuals that have registered to a sport/division. We take all the Free Agents for all the different sports and divisions and create teams that are solely Free Agent players. Each Free agent team is denoted with an "x-" in front of their team name (i.e "X-Spain" or "X-Blue Jays").
All other information about your free agent team including: rule books, schedules, stats an standings can be found on IMLeagues.

HOW DO I REGISTER MY TEAM TO PLAY INTRAMURALS?
There are TWO steps when registering an Intramural Team.
FIRST – Team captains must pay for the Intramural team on uoguelph.ca/connect or in person at Client Services in the Athletics Centre. Team captains pay the bond for the team ($250 for Ice Hockey and $75 for all other sports). The bond is returned in full if no fines are applied to the account. A team can be fined if they default a game, forget to submit their roster on time, player misconduct, or lost or damaged jersey/equipment.
SECOND – Team captains must register their team roster at IM Leagues (opens in new tab). View FAQ “How do I create a roster and apply players to my roster?” for instructions.

Why do I need a valid university of guelph student card or athletics membership card every game?
To remain consistent and to be fair to all participants, other forms of photo ID are NOT accepted. It is the only way we can truly know that you are a valid University of Guelph or Department of Athletics member paying membership fees. Requiring valid IDs is consistent to gain access to the Athletics Centre, Library and Guelph Transit. We are trying to stay CONSISTENT by enforcing the same procedures in all areas.

Come to the IM Office and we will sort out the reason why you are not appearing on the scorecard. If you are eligible to play for the team, you will be given an OK TO PLAY slip.
What happens if I forget my student card?
You can purchase a grace pass - $5.00 FOR YOUR FIRST TIME, $10.00 FOR YOUR SECOND TIME. After your second time, you will NOT be allowed to play. Grace passes are not valid during playoffs. Grace passes can be purchased at Client Services. Players then bring the receipt to the Intramural Office to receive their wristband.
