The Stanford University Athletic Department recognizes the need of a recreational environment separate from the academic rigors of student life. In respect of the need for a competitive and safe outlet, the Department of Athletics, P.E. and Recreation (DAPER) commissioned the creation of the Intramural Sports Program on the Stanford campus. In accordance with the needs of the students, The Stanford University Intramural Sports program offers opportunities for the Stanford University community to participate in a variety of team and individual sports leagues, as well as single elimination bracket sports and tournaments. The program is designed in a manner that promotes safety, fairness, and equal opportunity for all to participate. We are dedicated to participant satisfaction, while accommodating a wide range of interests and skill levels. Programs are open to all Stanford University students, faculty and staff.
The objectives of the Intramural Sport Program are as follows:
- To provide opportunities for individual development through various activities.
- To provide opportunities for social contacts and the development of lasting friendships.
- To provide leadership and fellowship opportunities through participation.
- To provide recreation for individuals, regardless of their skill ability.
- To provide opportunities which develop a positive attitude towards recreation.
Our department believes that while every individual should be allowed to determine the amount of physical activity he or she receives, physical preparation is as important as intellectual preparation in meeting the demands and stresses of everyday living. We are pleased to offer ten league sports over the course of the year and twelve day-tournaments. This diversity of sports is tendered to promote participation and provide for the many different interests throughout campus.
Congratulations
