If you are interested in becoming an Intramural Sports staff member, we are looking for students who are interested in officiating sports or managing our program activities. We will host two interest meetings the week of September 16. If you are interested, please attend one of the two meetings to learn more about how to get involved.

Interest Meeting Dates/Times/Locations

• Meeting 2: Wednesday, September 18 from 2 - 4 p.m. in the Rec and Wellness Center Conference Room (RWC 203, 2nd floor admin suite)

We are looking for students who are interested in officiating multiple sports like indoor soccer, volleyball, flag football, basketball, and outdoor soccer. No experience needed!!! Our Recreational Sports staff will train you to be confident in your abilities, knowledgable in the rules, become effective at communication, and comfortable with the mechanics needed to be a quality sports official.
