How Do I Sign Up for Intramural Sports?
Participants looking to put a team together for Intramural Sports must download the Fusion Play app on their mobile device and log in using their Gator Link credentials. Registration instructions can be found here.
How can I participate in Intramural Sports if I do not have a team?
Intramural Sports has a Free Agent Program that assists participants with finding a team to play on. If you register as a Free Agent, you can sign-up for a sport, league, and day/time that works best for you! Captains can then see available free agents to invite to their team. As a Free Agent you can also message captains to ask if they are in need of more players!
Please note registering as a free agent does not guarantee placement on a team, but we will do our best to assist!

What do I need to participate in Intramural Sports?
All participants must present a valid UF Gator 1 card (physical or mobile) to check-in for all intramural contests. If a participant is not yet on a roster, they will need to download the Fusion Play app, log-in with their Gator Link credentials, and be able to join the roster on-site.
When and where are Intramural Sports games played?
Intramural Sports uses a variety of courts and fields around campus. Basketball and indoor volleyball compete in the Southwest Recreation Center, softball games are held at the Southwest Softball Fields Complex, and flag football and soccer use Maguire, Lake Alice, Southwest fields and UVS fields. Sand volleyball and ultimate frisbee take place at the sand volleyball courts next to UVS Field or at the Broward Outdoor Recreational Complex. Intramural Sports contests usually take place 5 – 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Sunday 3 – 10 p.m.
What is the difference between a default and a forfeit?
A default occurs when a team captain contacts the league coordinator of their sport and completes the default form at least 6 hours prior to their scheduled game. This game will be counted as a loss toward the defaulting team and sportsmanship for both teams will not be affected.
A forfeit occurs when a team does not have the minimum number of players present and legally signed in at game time. In this case, the game is forfeited, the team receives a loss and a $30 forfeit charge is assessed to the team captain. The team is removed from the league after forfeiting a second time but is not charged a second time. The team captain will be contacted by the staff member in charge of the sport to determine whether or not the team wishes to remain in the league. Teams that do not respond to the staff after forfeiting may be subject to immediate removal from the league.
I played for a team and now I would like to switch rosters. What should I do?
Players wishing to be dropped from a team must contact the league coordinator in charge of the sport they are playing. Once a player has followed the proper drop procedures, he/she is eligible to join any other team for the remainder of the activity. A player may be dropped from a roster one time only, during the regular season. During playoffs, players may not be dropped from rosters.
What is the maximum number of participants a team may have on their roster?
Intramural Sports has an open-ended roster, which means you may have as many people on your roster as you want. Participants may utilize the Rover Rule to play on as many teams as they want during the regular season! First, you must establish yourself on your “home” roster. Once you appear on this roster, you may utilize the Rover Rule on-site with the Intramural Sports Supervisor.
What kind of situations can I protest?
Only protests based on questions of player eligibility and rule interpretation (when misinterpretation affects the outcome of the game) will be accepted. Protests that challenge judgment calls made by the officials or Intramural Supervisors will not be accepted.
How can I protest a game?
The team captain must make any protest involving rule interpretation to the Intramural Supervisor at the time of which the incident in question occurs. Once a situation has passed, however, it is no longer subject to change or protest. Eligibility protests must be brought to the attention of the Associate Director of Sport Programs. Please email wgoodwin@ufl.edu with all eligibility protests. For more information on protests, please review the Intramural Sports Participants Guide.
I was ejected from an Intramural Sports game. What should I do?
All ejected players must meet with the proper administrative staff member before he or she is permitted to participate in future Intramural Sports contests. Ejected players are prohibited from participating in any Intramural Sports contests until they have had their reinstatement meeting.
Can I reserve a field or court for practice? What fields or courts are open?
There are no fields or courts designated for individuals to reserve for practice; however, there are multiple fields with open recreation time slots. Flavet Field is open to anyone wishing to practice or scrimmage.
What must my team do to be eligible for the playoffs?
All teams who play in the appropriate leagues, have a .500 or better record, meet the sportsmanship criteria outlined in the Intramural Participant’s Guide, and have a maximum of one forfeit or default during the regular season to be eligible for the playoffs. Teams not meeting this criteria may e-mail the league contact no later than 12 p.m. following the last day of the regular season to be eligible for the playoffs. These teams must also have a maximum of one forfeit or default during the regular season.
A forfeit occurs when a team does not have the minimum number of players present and legally signed in at game time (or by seven minutes past scheduled game time in some cases). In this case, the game is forfeited, the team receives a loss and a $30 forfeit charge is assessed to the team captain. The team is removed from the league after forfeiting a second time but is not charged a second time. The team captain will be contacted by the staff member in charge of the sport to determine whether or not the team wishes to remain in the league. Teams that do not respond to the staff after forfeiting may be subject to immediate removal from the league.
What are sportsmanship points? How are they related to Intramural Sports?
RecSports expects all participants and spectators to conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike manner. The Sport Programs Sporting Behavior Policy is as follows: To address unsporting behavior each sport will follow the specific penalties/fouls as outlined in the sport specific rulebooks. If a team accumulates the equivalent of four unsporting behavior penalties/fouls or two ejections, they will not be allowed to participate in playoffs. These penalties carry over throughout the duration of playoffs (i.e., if a team accumulates more than the allowed number of unsporting behavior penalties during a playoff game, they will be removed from said playoffs). Please reference the sport specific rulebooks to determine what is considered an unsportsmanlike penalty/foul as well as what results in an ejection in each sport.
I am interested in becoming an official or scorekeeper. What should I do?
Sport Programs hires and trains hundreds of student officials and scorekeepers each year. Officials are needed for all Intramural Sports team sports. The Sport Programs office provides all training, and while previous officiating experience is preferred, it is not required.
Keep an eye on the RecSports website and social media for when our hiring campaigns are active!
Can I be an Official/Scorekeeper and play in intramurals?
Yes. Many officials participate not only in the sports they officiate, but also in other Intramural Sports. However, we do ask that you set aside at least 9 hours a week to work for Intramural Sports.
