Frequently asked questions
Here you can find some commonly asked questions about intramurals:
How much does it cost to play intramurals at UBCO?
The registration fee for intramurals is $15 CAD per individual, per sport and sport season. You sign up individually, instead of signing up the whole team.
What is included in the registration fee?
The registration fee covers one individual in one sport division for that sport season. If you wish to play multiple sports, you must register for each sport separately.
How do the intramural seasons work?
We typically offer one season of intramurals in Term 1 and two seasons of intramurals in Term 2. Each season lasts approximately 8 weeks, including playoffs for Competitive and Intermediate Leagues.
How do I start a new intramurals team? How do I join an existing team?
Team captains register their team at registration time. Once you have secured a team spot, you will then get a team registration link that you can send to other players to join your team
Who can play intramurals?
Only currently enrolled UBCO students can participate in intramurals.
Which sports can I play?
We offer a variety of indoor and outdoor sport at different competitive levels throughout the year. View our full list of intramural sports.
Can I join multiple teams?
Yes, you can join multiple teams so long as each team plays a different sport. You cannot join more than one team in the same sport, even if the teams are in different divisions. For instance, if you want to join a basketball team:
- You CAN join a team in competitive basketball and a team in competitive soccer.
- You CANNOT join two separate teams in competitive basketball.
- You CANNOT join a team in competitive basketball and a team in intermediate basketball.
Can I join a team even though multiple weeks have passed since intramurals began?
Yes. Regardless of whether you are joining a team or as an individual, you can still register anytime after the intramural season has begun.
However, note that in order to be eligible to play in any playoff games, you need to have played at least two regular season games first. So, even though you could hypothetically join a team in the last week of the regular season, you would not be eligible to play any playoff games with that team if they qualified.
Do I need to bring my ID to every single game?
You need to show your ID to the staff just once during the intramural season. Once you’ve verified your ID, you do not need to bring it every single week of play
Where can I find my team’s schedule?
You can find your rosters, schedules, and standing online by accessing the Intramural Sports page on our UBCO Recreation ActiveNet portal. You can also find them here.
Once on the Intramurals ActiveNet page, select your sport and division to view the schedule and other details.
Are intramurals cancelled for holidays?
Intramurals are cancelled on most BC statutory holidays.Confirm your team’s schedule through our ActiveNet portal (as detailed in the previous answer).
Can I change my team and/or sport?
Yes, you can change your team/sport at any point in the season, provided you have a valid reason for doing so. If you join a team partway through the season, ensure you meet the minimum requirement of at least two regular season games played to be eligible to play in the playoffs. For changes, email camprec.intramurals@ubc.ca.
Can I get a refund on my intramural registration?
Refunds may be issued for medical reasons only. Please email camprec.intramurals@ubc.ca for refunds.
