Collegiate Times

Intramural sports are very popular at Virginia Tech, with about 13,000 participants each year.

That being said, some intramural leagues are filled in minutes. A few tips will ensure one of the coveted spots are yours.

Look at the schedule early

The intramural Web site lists all of the intramural tournaments and leagues at the beginning of the year. Mark down the registration dates for anything you'd be interested in so you don't miss the registration. Get a team together, and ask around for interested members. Ask friends in advance any times that wouldn't work for games during the week.

Register early

 Registration begins at 8 a.m. for most leagues and tournaments. Sports such as flag football and soccer will fill up in less than 30 minutes. You can't open up the registration until 8 a.m. but have all information needed ready so you can fill the form out quickly. This requires a team name, your choice of competitive or friendly league, contact information for the captain, preferred time for games, and more.  The few minutes you spend looking up this information could lose you a spot.

Get organized

 Once you have a team formed, come up with a schedule to practice if you want, and how to get a uniform together if you want to make one. It's a good idea to have a meeting before the league starts to sort this stuff out. There are specific gender requirements for co-ed leagues so plan for each game to ensure you have enough players.

Be prepared at games

 All team members need to turn in their Hokie Passport to officials before the game, so make sure everyone brings theirs to the game. All jewelry and metal hair pieces are prohibited so leave them at home.
