The program offers short term, low commitment competition in about 18 sports per year. Games occur about once a week for 6-8 weeks. To ensure every student’s chance for participation, each sport consists of leagues of varying skill levels. One of the main goals of the program is to provide students with the opportunity for recreation as an outlet from academic endeavors.</p> <p><a class="btn red blue-gray-hover" href="http://intramurals.mit.edu/for-participants/sports-leagues/">View Sport Leagues</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion"> <div class="header"> <a href="#who-organizes-the-program-278-general-info" aria-expanded="false"> <h3>Who organizes the program?</h3> </a> </div> <div id="who-organizes-the-program-278-general-info" class="accoridon-content" style="display: none;"> <div class="accord-inner"> <p>Students play a significant role in the administration of the Intramural Program. In collaboration with the Intramural Office (W35-297), the Executive Committee makes policy and disciplinary decisions, student sport managers organize leagues, and other students officiate games. While some of these positions are paid, many require students to volunteer their time. Without the efforts and support of these students, the MIT Intramural Sports Program would suffer significantly.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion"> <div class="header"> <a href="#who-can-play-279-general-info" aria-expanded="false"> <h3>Who can play?</h3> </a> </div> <div id="who-can-play-279-general-info" class="accoridon-content" style="display: none;"> <div class="accord-inner"> <p>Everyone who is eligible to play intramurals at MIT must have a current DAPER membership* or have purchased a day pass to enter the facility and must fall within one of the following categories:</p> <ul> <li>MIT Student</li> <li>MIT Staff, Faculty, Instructors, Lecturers or Post Docs</li> <li>MIT Club of Boston Alumni *contact MITCoB for details surrounding IM membership</li> <li>Spouses/partners of any of the above</li> </ul> <p>MIT Intramural teams are open to women and men, and there are no male-to-female ratios that need to be adhered to in most cases.
