Intramurals are an opportunity for all students to compete against their classmates in a variety of sports. They are a great way to increase student engagement by providing students with ways to interact socially with their classmates. This fosters a sense of belonging, positivity and engagement in both academic and non-academic activities.
Aims students who want to participate in intramural sports for the spring semester should contact Tanner Wiemers to sign up. See details for Aims intramural sport offerings below.
