Cost to Play Intramural Sports
First up, let’s talk about cost. You/your team will need to fork over a one-time “Forfeit Fee” to play intramurals. The pricing can range from $25 to $50, depending on which sport you decide on. Classic Sports such as Flag Football and Basketball will require a $50 fee. On the other hand, Modern Sports like Indoor Soccer and Sand Volleyball will have a $25 fee. Don’t worry, though, because, at the end of the semester (as long as your team has abided by the rules and not forfeited any games), you’ll receive your Forfeit Deposit Fee credited back to your University Account. So follow the rules, show up, and have fun!
Now, let’s go over some upcoming sign-up dates for this fall/winter season. The great thing about Tech Intramurals is the sheer amount of flexibility you have and the endless options available to fit your busy schedule. For example, registration for the “Flash: Archery” held on Sunday, November 14th, is open until 11/13. This still gives many players an ample amount of time to make plans and sign up. The tournament is a one-day event that will surely be a fun one.
If you’re searching for something a bit more traditional, look no further than the Indoor Soccer League. This group’s season runs from October 21st to November 16th and has options ranging from Co-Ed, Open, and Women’s Leagues. While registration is on a waitlist right now, you can still join teams at any time.
