Why Intramurals Are One of the Best Ways to Get Involved on Campus
College life is about more than just classes, assignments, and studying. It’s also about meeting new people, trying new things, staying active, and creating memories along the way. SAIT Trojans Intramurals are a fun and easy way to do all of that!
Whether you’re a competitive athlete, someone who hasn’t played a sport in years, or just looking for something fun to do with friends, there’s a place for you in intramurals.
Play, Compete & Have Fun
Intramurals give students the chance to get active and compete in a relaxed, social environment. You can bring your competitive side, try a new sport, or simply show up, have fun, and enjoy some time away from the classroom.
The best part? You don’t have to be an elite athlete to participate. Intramurals are designed for students of all experience levels.
Meet New People
One of the best things about intramurals is the opportunity to connect with people you might not normally meet in class.
You could join a team with friends, meet new classmates, or sign up as a free agent and get placed with other students who are looking to play. Before you know it, your teammates can become your friends—and your weekly game can become something you look forward to.
Research on university intramural programs has found that participation can provide meaningful social benefits and help students feel more connected to their campus community.
Stay Active & Feel Good
Between classes, studying, work, and everything else that comes with being a student, finding time to stay active can be challenging.
Intramurals make it easier by giving you a reason to get moving. Whether you're running around the court, kicking a ball, swinging a bat, or competing with your friends, you’re getting active while having fun.
Studies at Canadian post-secondary institutions have connected intramural participation with physical and emotional wellness, social benefits, and overall student satisfaction.
Take a Break From the Classroom
Sometimes you just need to step away from the laptop and do something different.
Intramurals give you a chance to take a break from studying, laugh with friends, compete, and enjoy being part of the SAIT community. That little break can be exactly what you need before getting back to your next assignment.
And yes—you’re allowed to have fun while being a student!
Be Part of the SAIT Community
Intramurals are more than just games. They help create a campus where students can connect, compete, and feel like they belong.
You don’t need to know everyone. You don’t need to have a team already. You don’t even need to consider yourself “sporty.”
Just bring yourself, bring some energy, and be ready to have fun.
