Santa Clara University

All current Santa Clara University students, faculty, and staff are eligible to join a team and play.  Players of all skill levels can participate.  ALL players must bring a valid ACCESS card to every game. Current academic year intercollegiate athletes and club sports athletes may NOT participate in their respective sport or related sport (i.e. baseball team members are ineligible for intramural softball, volleyball club and intercollegiate team members are ineligible for intramural volleyball, etc.).  

Intramurals are what you put into them.  Games are usually 45 to 60 minutes long and are scheduled once a week during league play.  It is up to the discretion of the captain and the team whether or not they meet throughout the week to practice.  If you cannot make it to a game, give your captain fair notice so they can either find a replacement for you or give the Intramural Sports Staff the 48-hours notice that they will not have enough players for the game, thus avoiding a forfeit. 

M – Men's Leagues

W – Women's Leagues

C – Coed Leagues (Men and women playing together.  Rules may be altered to accommodate gender differences).

Some equipment is provided for all team sports such as balls and colored pennies.  Tennis & badminton racquets are available for check out at the Malley Center Front Desk if you need a racquet to play. Those playing soccer have the option to wear shin guards and/or cleats instead of tennis shoes, although it is not required. 

Participants without a team can sign-up as a free agent.  Free agents must sign-up during the sign-up period, and attend the meeting held at the Pat Malley Fitness and Recreation Center Conference Room 7:00 p.m. on the last day of the sign-up period. 

Sign-ups are held at the Pat Malley Fitness and Recreation Center (Malley Center) Front Desk during business hours the first Wednesday of each quarter until the second Tuesday of the quarter.  In order for your team/individual to be entered into a division/league, you must

1)      Complete the Intramural Sports Deposit Form and pay your $25 intramural deposit

2)      Select your division/league & turn in your Team Entry and Roster Form to the Malley Center Front Desk staff during the Intramural Sign up period.  

3)      The Malley Center Front Desk staff will confirm that your selected division/league is available & add you to that division/league & process your Intramural Sports deposit. Cash, check, Visa, or MasterCard is accepted for payment.

4)      If you would like to sign up for more than one division/league the Malley Center Front Desk staff will need to process separate payments for each league & you will need to submit separate forms (Team Entry & Roster Form & Intramural Sports Deposit form) for each league you would like to register for.

5)      After signing up captains or a representative from the team must attend the scheduled MANDATORY meeting for their team/individual to participate. Separate meetings are scheduled for each sport offered that quarter. Captains that do not show up to the meeting may forfeit their team/individual spot from the division/league if there is a waiting list for that sport.

Yes, if your team does not forfeit.  A team that forfeits loses the $25 deposit.  If you do not forfeit you can

1) Roll over your original $25 deposit for a sport the following quarter (in the same academic year) should you decide to create a team for a sport that quarter.

2) You may request a refund of your deposit at the end of the quarter should you choose not to play again the next quarter.  All refunds need to be requested by the last day of classes each spring quarter in order to have all refunds processed by the end of the fiscal year. 

No one is permitted to participate on two teams in the same division of a sport, for example two Men's DI Basketball teams. You are permitted to play on a Men's DI & Co-rec basketball team.
