Intramurals

Intramurals are an important part of campus life. You’ll have the opportunity to get involved in a variety of competitive and structured team sports. Intramurals are a great way to combine physical exercise and social interaction with your friends. 
The Intramural Department offers a variety of sports, including indoor soccer, volleyball, basketball, wiffleball, ultimate Frisbee, basketball and dodgeball. You could also participate in tournaments such as ping pong, foosball, pool, spades, racquetball, Frisbee golf, chess, just to name a few. Several other sports and tournaments are offered throughout the year, based on what King students are interested in playing.

Inquiries about intramurals should be directed to the Coordinator of Intramurals within Student Affairs.
