Intramurals

How do I sign up for intramurals?

All Intramural participants must create an account on our intramurals website - www.imleagues.com/llu.

LLU students must use their student ID number for their participant number and non-students must use their 8-digit birthdate and year for their participant number (ex. 03201995).

To create a team, click on the “Create a Team” link or the link of the sport you wish to play. Once your team is created, you will be able to invite your friends to join your team via email.

How do I join a team?

Log into your account and click on the “Join a Team” link or icon. Choose your sport and you will see a list of teams. Click on the name of your team and enter the “Team Password” you received from your captain. You must click “Yes” to “Accept the Terms” and type your name as it appears on your account in the “Electronic Signature” box. You will then be added to the team's roster.

How much does it cost for my team to play Intramurals?

A student team which consists of all LLU affiliates (ex. students, spouse and teaching faculty) is FREE! Non-student team costs vary depending on the sports.

Fees are shown at the time of registration.

If a student registers a team, fees are automatically waived. If you have any non-students on a “student” team, a $25 fee for each non-student will be added to the captains shopping cart and must be paid by the captain. Those players should pay their fee to the captain.

What divisions and leagues are offered?

We offer Division 1, which is a more competitive level and Division 2 which is designed to be less competitive. We offer Men’s, Women’s and Co-Rec leagues in most sports.

Can I play on more than one team?

Yes. We only request that if you are playing in Division 1, you don’t play in Division 2 as we try to keep the leagues fair in competitive balance. You may participate in a Men’s and Co-Rec league or Women’s and Co-Rec, etc. You must be a registered member of all teams you play on.

Who is allowed to play intramural sports?

Intramural players must be 18 years of age or older.

Intramural leagues are open to all members and the community.

LLU students have first priority for our intramural and recreational leagues.

Because the Drayson Center is open to the community, we allow non-student/community teams to participate in our leagues as well. Non-student/community teams may be screened before league entry.

How can I join a team as a free agent?

You must register on the intramurals website and fill out the free agent information. If you get contacted to play by a captain, you must obtain the team password information from them to join their team. If not contacted, you may come to the Drayson Center on the first night of league games and check with different teams to see if they need additional players. If selected, you must follow the same procedure to join their team as listed above. Any fees must be paid to the team captain.
