1. INTRAMURAL SPORTS &
RECREATION @ ACC
By Tracy Partin

2. WHAT IS INTRAMURAL SPORTS?
• Are recreational sports organized within a particular institution, usually an
educational institution, or a set geographic area. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
• The program is very structured and offers individual, dual, and team sports for male
and female participation. Participation is not required, and an individual does not
have to be highly skilled to participate. (Univ. of Central Arkansas)
• Intramural Sports are a variety of sports and activities designed for the recreational
athlete. Intramurals serve as an excellent tool for enjoying time with friends and
assist with promoting a healthy lifestyle. (UIC, Chicago)

bit.ly/fa16sports
Fall 2016 online registration begins 8/29/16!
Registration is FREE to currently registered students!

5. • Once the registration has been completed online,
it will go directly to “Marketing”
• Alanna then sends me all the registrations for
that week
• Once I receive them, I email the student(s)
letting them know that their registration has
been received and the starting date of the
activity(s) that they chose.
• If registration does fill to capacity, Alanna sets
up a “Waiting List” so I can go in and invite
those to participate if others drop out or don’t
show up

6. INTRAMURALS – CLUB SPORTS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTRAMURALS AND CLUB SPORTS?
Women’s Volleyball Co-Rec Softball
Men’s Tournament
Basketball

7. CLUB TEAMS ARE THOSE WHICH, IN PRINCIPLE,
ANY STUDENT CAN JOIN BASED ON HIS/HER
ATHLETIC ABILITIES/INTERESTS. WEEKLY
PRACTICES ARE USUALLY HELD, SOMETIMES
MORE THAN ONCE PER WEEK, AND COMPETITIONS
ARE ARRANGED WITH OTHER INSTITUTIONS, BUT
BECAUSE THE STUDENT'S INVOLVEMENT IS
RECREATIONAL IN NATURE, THERE IS LESS
PRESSURE WITH REGARD TO MEETING TRAINING
AND ACADEMIC DEMANDS.
In the case of ACC, our teams do not play other institutions (with the
exception of the Invitational Basketball Tournament), but our teams
participate in the City of Austin city leagues during both the Fall and
Spring semesters.
