Description

No need to sit on the sideline this year with basketball intramurals! Whether you are looking to challenge your skills, strategy, or overall game, our competitive basketball league is a great place to be.
You will get the most enjoyment from this program if you have played the sport of basketball in highschool or community leagues at a competitive level previously, are interested in a moderate challenge, or looking for a league to compete in. Regardless of competition level, all of our leagues operate with a fun first mentality.
This league operates with five players per team on the court at once during the game. There will be student casual staff to support you at each game, including, an Intramural Scorekeeper, two Intramural Officials, as well as an Intramural Student Leader who will be overseeing each sport. You will be playing one game per week (minus exemption dates - see below), and will have single elimination playoffs during the last three weeks of the season.
Don’t have a full team ready for the season? Select our free agent team upon team designation! Our free agent team is a great way to get to know other players throughout the season!
At the end of this program, registrants will have:

• Participated in a structured sport league program encompassing weekly scheduled games, officials and scorekeeper involvement, and much more.
• Created new connections and friendships while increasing their sense of belonging to the larger MRU community including students, staff and community.
• Played in a fun, inclusive environment that accommodates teams and individual players of all skill levels and/or previous sport involvement.
