Introduction to Collegiate Intramural Sports 101

NIRSA is committed to creating professional pathways through in-depth explorations of functional areas across collegiate recreation. Complementing available resources such as the Campus Recreation Essentials series, the Recreation 101 Virtual Course series gives NIRSA members the opportunity to establish a core, introductory knowledge base tied to specific content domains.

The Recreation 101 Virtual Courses are fully online, asynchronous experiences so participants can take them whenever they like and at their own pace. Each of them is anchored by approximately four hours of on-demand video content designed and taught by experts in each functional area. These courses are designed to be evergreen and will be reviewed and updated periodically to showcase current best practices in the profession.

Introduction to Collegiate Intramural Sports 101 video modules will be available starting on Tuesday, June 18.

This course provides an in-depth introduction to collegiate intramural sports, covering their definition, benefits, historical evolution, and various types. Participants will learn how to plan, organize, and run intramural events and tournaments effectively. The course includes strategies for event planning, facility management, team recruitment, and student development. It also covers tournament formats, officiating, and equipment guidelines. Additionally, the course emphasizes the importance of evaluating and improving intramural programs through participant feedback, data analysis, and adapting to changing demographics. Future trends and the integration of technology in intramural sports are also explored. Upon completing the course and passing the assessments, participants will receive a certificate of completion.
