We very rarely cancel outdoor sports as most of our outdoor playing areas are turf. Lightning and thunderstorms may cause extended delays or cancelations. Captains will be notified about any cancelations in a timely manner.

We offer recreational leagues for most of our leagues and tournaments. Recreational leagues are oriented to focus on fun, friendships, and exercise while our intermediate and competitive leagues are more focused on winning and competition.

There is no need to remove all of your teammates to change divisions! Send an email to imsports@charlotte.edu with your original sport, division, and time slot and the time slot you're wishing to move to.

You can view registration dates by clicking on the sport you'd like to play, click "View," and locate the registration information at the top of the page. Registration dates are different for each sport.

All of our intramural leagues, tournaments, and contests are FREE for all fee-paying students! All intramural activities are also included at no additional charge for applicable annual or gold nugget memberships for alumni, graduate students, faculty, and staff.

All fee-paying students are eligible to participate in intramural sports. Alumni, graduate students, faculty, and staff that wish to participate may gain access by purchasing an applicable annual or gold nugget membership at UREC.

Students that don't have a full team to register may register as a "free agent." Registering as a free agent allows approved captains to add players to their team at the captain's discretion. Registering as a free agent does not guarantee placement on a team. The intramural sports program will not assign free agents to teams. We highly recommend attending UREC, Belk Gym, or NRFC during open recreation hours to find teammates!

Most intramural sports activities are held at either Belk Gymnasium (for indoor sports) or NRFC (for outdoor sports). The program will also host activities at UREC or other campus spaces on occasion. Programs that are held Monday-Thursday will occur between 5pm-11pm. Programs that are held on Fridays are generally scheduled between 3pm-8pm. Be sure to view a sport's schedule on our registration website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Anyone can contact the intramural sports office by sending an email to imsports@charlotte.edu. Responses to email inquiries may be up to 48 hours during peak registration periods.
