Intramural Sports

What are Intramural Sports? 

Partake in fun, social and good-natured competition between teams of UAlbany undergraduate students. 

Our Intramural Sports program offers a wide variety of sports leagues, tournaments and single-day events. 

Teams don’t have scheduled practices and typically play one to two games per week. Students of all skill levels are welcome. 

Participants and spectators are expected to always act with sportsmanlike behavior. Our staff works to ensure the program is inclusive, safe and enjoyable.

Sportsmanship Expectations

After each event, Campus Recreation staff members will consult with officials, scorekeepers and site supervisors and then assign a sportsmanship rating to both teams. 

Ratings are made on a scale of zero to four, with four being the highest score attainable. Teams that fail to maintain an average 2.5 sportsmanship rating may be excluded from playoff competition. 

Items considered when assigning ratings include but are not limited to: 

  • Unsportsmanlike penalties or technical fouls 

  • The number of verbal warnings given to players 

  • The amount of complaining or arguing from players 

  • Ejections from the game 

Here is a thorough explanation of each rating:

  • Players fully cooperated with officials and team members. 

  • Players are under control and are not excessively fouling or contacting others. 

  • Officials issued no verbal warnings to players.

  • Exceptional sportsmanship was shown by all sides. 
     

3.0 — Average Conduct & Sportsmanship 

  • Players verbally complained about some decisions made by officials and/or showed mild dissent, which may have merited a technical foul or yellow card.
