• Students: Any student who is enrolled (at least 1 hour) at the University of Houston (Central Campus).
• Faculty/Staff: Any person employed by the University of Houston (Central Campus) at least 0.50 FTE and benefits eligible with a current CRWC membership.

Most Intramural Sports activities are free to play with an active Campus Recreation membership. Off-campus activities (golf, paintball, etc.) usually cost extra. See the Intramural Sports main page for a list of activities offered and associated costs (if any).

Intramural sports are played at a variety of locations, including:

• University of Houston Campus Recreation and Wellness Center
• Gertner Field, located at the corner of Cullen and Elgin
• University Center Game Room

The Intramural Sports office is located in the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center Room 1007 (in the rotunda area near the glass wall looking into the Natatorium.)

For each major sport you participate in, you may only play on one single-gender (male, female, greek, open) team and one co-rec team. This includes teams representing Greek organizations – participation on a greek team counts as a player's one single-gender team. For each minor team sport and individual/dual sport, you may only play on one team.

A team may avoid a forfeit fee by contacting the Rec Sports office at 713-743-8041 or IMSports@uh.edu and defaulting their game no later than 24 hours in advance to their scheduled game. All weekend defaults must be called in before 4:00 pm on Friday. Teams that do not appear at their scheduled contest or are unable to produce enough players to field a team according to the rules of the particular sport will be assessed a forfeit and forfeit fee. The forfeit fee during league play and tournament play is $30. Forfeit fees will be assessed via the team captain’s student account.

In the event of inclement weather, decisions regarding playing conditions will be made before 4:00pm. The Intramural Sports program will communicate through IMleagues.com with updates or decisions. Team captains can contact the IM Sports Office at 713-743-8041 to learn the status of the games. There is no guarantee that postponed contests will be rescheduled. Checking IMLeagues is also an accurate way of knowing of inclement weather cancellations.

No. Candidates for varsity intercollegiate programs are not eligible for intramural participation in the "related sport" in which they are participating. (This includes all players on the roster and other people who are practicing with the team). To be eligible, participants must not be listed on the Varsity roster (or "equal list") in the same or related sport for that academic year. Exceptions may be granted to any player that was listed on the roster for less than three weeks. Please contact the intramural sports office if you have any questions regarding participant eligibility.

Yes, members of sport club teams are eligible for intramural competition in the sport in which they compete for the club. It should be noted, however, that Intramural Sports teams are limited to 2 'related-sport' club players per roster in all sports. In addition, club players participating in their related sport must participate in the highest competition level available (ex: a male club soccer player is not eligible to play for a men's recreational soccer team if there is a competitive league offered). Please contact the Rec Sports office if you have any questions regarding participant eligibility.
