The Boston College Intramural Program organizes sports and activities for the Boston College community. All leagues, tournaments, and events put on by the program are meant to be a fun, healthy outlet for all participants.
BC intramurals are open to all students, faculty, and staff (with a Campus Rec membership) at Boston College and, with a few exceptions, these activities are free of charge! We try to take care of everything from including game scheduling, hiring student officials, and providing most equipment. No practices are required; all you have to do is register, follow our policies and procedures, and show up!
We are always looking for ways to improve so we are excited to hear ideas and feedback from the BC community. We can be reached by e-mailing intramur@bc.edu, calling 617-552-0632, or just stopping by our office in the Basketball Wing of Margot's.
Our Mission
The purpose of the Intramural Sports program at Boston College is to provide exercise, recreation, and fun to our participants in a relaxed, yet structured environment. Intramural Sports enhance the academic experience by promoting and reinforcing leadership qualities, teamwork, personal accomplishment, mutual respect, integrity, competition and recreation, as well as skill and exercise. Everyone is encouraged to play to the best of their abilities; however, a win-at-all-cost attitude is inappropriate and strongly discouraged. The genuine value of Intramural Sports comes from the recreation and camaraderie experienced with the other participants and staff of the program.
- Fun: At the core of the Intramural Program, there is a desire to provide participants with enjoyable programming in a positive, inviting environment.
- Honesty: In order to maintain high standards throughout the Intramural Program, we strive to uphold a culture of integrity, trust, fairness, responsibility, and accountability.
- Respect: Sportsmanship is a focal point of the Intramural Program; treating others with respect is not up for debate. Remember, in the end, we are all Eagles.
- Professionalism: The Intramural Program strives for a level of professionalism that will foster growth in our student employees and that will give participants a program to be proud of.
- Passion: Individuals participating in intramurals, whether a player or an official, should approach their role with positive energy and enthusiasm.
- Community: The Intramural Program hopes to promote lasting relationships and camaraderie at Boston College.

Joining Intramural Sports (IM's) at Boston College is a competitive process, reflecting the dynamic and enthusiastic spirit of our community. Unfortunately, due to high demand, we cannot guarantee a spot on a team in every sport.

You will be allowed to view registered teams and see if they are looking for players and ask to join. There is no guarantee for being picked up as a free agent and we do not force free agent signings.
You can add players to your roster throughout the regular season so long as they are eligible, have an IMLeague account, and it is done at least the day before your next scheduled game.
