Intramurals

The Intramural Sports Program is provided for student enjoyment by the athletic department in cooperation with Student Development. Intramurals are designed to provide a wide variety of activities for meeting the recreational and competitive needs of the TUFW student body. Flag football, volleyball, and basketball are provided for both men and women; coeducational competition is featured in the spring softball games. Floor hockey is a popular winter activity for men and women. Individual competition in cross-country events, tennis, and chess takes place throughout the academic year.


A Word from the Director

Intramurals at Taylor University Fort Wayne are designed to give the members of the TUFW family (students, faculty, and staff) broad exposure to leisure time activities. Participation in the intramural program will allow you to develop a proper use of leisure time, and hopefully allow you to develop interest in activities that will carry through your lifetime.

The intramural program will allow you to meet new friends, students, faculty, and staff, develop the spirit of cooperation and teamwork, and learn to be competitive while maintaining the spirit of good sportsmanship.

Finally, some of you will help in the administration of the program, and this will prove to be a valuable experience. Principles of organization and administration will be learned that will be useful throughout your lifetime.

It is the sincere desire of the Intramural Director that all of you will participate in the intramural program. It is designed for you, and your involvement in each activity and cooperation will go a long way in making it a successful program.
