Competitive and Rec Sports

Sports

COVID-19 update: Some sports have opened back up for the Fall semester! See the lists below. Masks required for all sports. 

Intramural

These are usually co-ed teams, although some sports, such as basketball and volleyball, are separated by gender.  A certain ratio of men to women is required on the court or the field in order to play; this varies for each sport. Students will form their own team and register for a sport through campus.rec.byui.
