Sports

Step 1: Create an account

Individual and team registrations, game schedules, and roster management are all completely online through ETAMU IMLeagues. To play Intramural Sports for the first time, please follow the instructions below.

• Navigate to imleagues.com/tamuc or download the Lion Rec Sports App powered by IMLeagues on Google Play or the Apple App Store.
• Select East Texas A&M University which will route you to SSO.
• Log in via SSO using your university credentials.
• Complete the required information and create your account.

Step 2: Create or Join a team

Individual and team registrations must be submitted by midnight on the last day of registration for that particular event.

To Create a Team:

• Click your desired sport and league from the options displayed and select “+Create team.”
• Agree to sport waiver and fill in your team information as prompted. Submit your team.
• From your team page, invite friends or accept requests from friends to join your team.

To Join a Team:

• Accept a request from the captain to join their team through email or IMLeagues or find the team and captain name on the division/league page and requesting to join.
• Go to the captain's player card page, view their team or request to join.

Eligible Participants

• Current fee-paying East Texas A&M undergraduate and graduate students
• East Texas A&M faculty and staff. You must have a Campus Recreation membership in order to participate in activities that take place at the MRC

Ineligible Participants

• East Texas A&M alumni
• Contract workers for the university (ie. SSC, Sodexo, construction companies, etc.)
• Students from other colleges or universities
• Faculty and staff that do not have a Campus Recreation membership (applies to sports taking place in the confines of the MRC)
• Spouses and/or life and domestic partners of students, faculty or staff

We know it can be challenging to find enough players for a team! If you don't have a team to join but still want to play, that simply means you're a free agent. Here are a couple of options for finding a team to play with.

• Visit imleagues.com/tamuc and make sure you have created your account.
• Look for the sport titled “NEED A TEAM? SIGN UP HERE!” Many sports and leagues have already created teams to be solely comprised of free-agent players.
• Find and click on the sport you wish to play. Continue to follow the prompts at the top of each page before finally joining your new team!
• You can request to join teams or post information about yourself so teams can request to add you to their team.
• Please note that requesting to join a team does not instantaneously place you on that team. It is a good practice to reach out to the captain before showing up to a game.
• You can show as a “Free Agent” in as many divisions within a league as you'd like (use the player-sign-up drop-down menu on the top right of every page on IMLeagues).
• Signing up as a free agent does not guarantee a spot on a roster nor can you be placed on a roster without the captain's approval.

Our mission is to support climbers of any experience level, to help educate and nurture a love for the sport while creating a welcoming community for all looking to climb. We compete both recreationally and competitively.

Start a club Sport

All clubs must register with the Office of Student Organizations in order to become a Club Sport. Student Organizations must follow the process as set forth by Student Organizations (Student Organizations: Starting a New Organization).

Club sports we’ve had in the past include men’s and women’s basketball clubs, women’s volleyball club, ultimate frisbee club, table tennis club, women’s soccer club, and tennis club.

Once a club has registered with Student Organizations, a meeting must be set up with Jonathan Johnston. The club must provide the following upon this meeting:

• Constitution: This document is the foundation of the club's operations. It should clearly list the purpose, membership, organization structure (officers and advisors), election processes, rules and regulations, and funding sources for the club.
• Roster: Individual/dual-player sports require a minimum of six students to become a club sport. Sports that have a higher minimum number of participants required to play the sport will be required to meet the minimum needed to play the sport before becoming a club sport. These are also the requirements to be an active club.

Approval and acceptance into the Club Sports Program happens on a semester-by-semester basis. Clubs must be established as registered student organizations and meet all the requirements for starting a new club sport. Once approved, the club will become an active club sport for the following semester and is eligible to receive club sport program benefits.

After becoming an official club sport, clubs must follow the guidelines below to maintain their club sport status.
