inTRAMURAL offiCiALSIntramural Sports is HIRING! Interested in becoming an intramural official? You will make new friends, work flexible hours, earn money, and most importantly, you never have to work a Friday or Saturday. Each year, the intramural department hires over 300 student officials for the intramural program. Officials in each sport go through a paid training program. Training occurs over a two-week period before play begins and includes classroom sessions along with on-site clinics. In the classroom, sports rules and officiating techniques are discussed and reviewed. The clinics consist of veteran officials demonstrating proper court/field coverage and scrimmage games. Please come to one of the following information sessions in room SRC 281 for the sport you may be interested in.

OFFicialS iNFO MeeTiNGS

Brought to you by:

hoW To Sign Up A TeAMAll entries for team sports, individual and dual sports, and special events are handled by the intramural staff in the lobby of the Student Recreation Center. Registration times are listed on the calendar of events. Each team or individual must complete the entry card available in the lobby. You must provide the name of a captain with his/her UIN, phone number, and email address. EACH CAPTAIN MUST BE A MEMBER OF THE TEAM AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE PLACED ON THE ROSTER. You will also need an alternate captain’s (team manager) name, phone number, and email if signing up for a team sport. Please allow about 30 minutes for the registration process.

LeAgUe foRMAT And dAyS of pLAyMost team sports are divided into three divisions (Men’s, Women’s, and Coed). Those divisions are then subdivided into two classes (Competitive and Recreational). A team may sign up in the division that fits the style of team they are forming. Competitive is described as most team members are moderately to highly skilled players in the sport. Recreational is designed to be geared more toward novice to moderately skilled athletes in the respective sport. When you sign up, you will choose the day of play for your regular season games. All three of your season games will generally be played on the same day and time that you sign up for. At the completion of the regular season, all teams will then advance to a single elimination tournament where days of play may change. Individual and dual sports, along with tournaments, vary in competition format. Contact the intramural office for more information.

eLigibiLiTyIn order to participate in intramural sports, a person must be a Rec member. This includes all Texas A&M students who have signed up for classes and paid the required Rec Sports fee, faculty/staff who have purchased a semester or yearly Rec Sports membership. Month long, week long, and/or day passes to the Rec Center do not count as memberships and do not serve as a way to participate in intramural sports. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS MAY ONLY PARTICIPATE ON ONE (1) SINGLE GENDER AND ONE (1) COED TEAM IN EACH SPORT.

CApTAin’S infoRMATionCaptains are responsible for all operations of their team. If you choose to serve as captain, please make sure that you are able to communicate with your team. The captain will need to communicate all information provided by the intramural office, understand the policies and procedures of intramural sports, complete required captain’s quizzes, promote good sportsmanship for his/her team, check game updates and playoff brackets to know when the team plays, and take responsibility for all defaults and/or forfeits his/her team incurs.

CLiMbing inSTRUCTionClimbing Basics Orientation ClassesIf you’ve never climbed our indoor climbing wall before, we recommend you come in for an orientation class. Learn everything you need to know to climb safely. Belaying skills, knots, commands, safety tips, equipment usage and more. Orientation classes are taught Monday through Friday at 4pm and 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday at 3pm.

1-on-1 LessonsIf you want to take your climbing to the next level through working with one of our certified climbing instructors, then this class is for you. These 1.5-hour sessions are designed to be whatever you need them to be. We have worked with climbers on movement technique, strength building, climbing endurance and technical skill. Plan a 1-on-1 session if you are ready to get serious about improving your climbing skills!

Rock Climbing 101 Clinic: An Intro to ClimbingEven with no experience, you can join us for an introduction to the exciting sport of rock climbing. This four-hour course covers basic knots and rope handling techniques, protection and belaying systems and a variety of climbing movement techniques. After successful completion of the skills check, you will be eligible to purchase a climbing pass to use the facility.

Lead Climbing ClinicOnce you’ve mastered top rope climbing, your next step is the more advanced skill of lead climbing. This skill set answers the question, “How do they get the ropes up there in the first place?” We’ll show you how to do it and make sure you’re safe. This skill set is a must for taking your own trips climbing outdoors. Learn the advanced techniques involved in lead climbing, including knots, clipping, how to belay a leader, and the physics of falling. PREREQUISITES: Current rock wall skills check and the ability to consistently top rope climb multiple routes at grade 5.9+ or higher. Class limit 9.

Climbing for Fitness (Specialty Class)It’s more than just a monolith in the middle of the Rec; the Indoor Climbing Facility is your next fitness tool. Even if you’ve never climbed before, our certified instructors will teach you the basics then begin using your climbing skills to get you in shape. This class blends traditional floor exercises with climbing to give you a full-body workout. Different weeks will focus on improving endurance, strength, balance and movement. Once you’re finished with this class, you’ll have the skills you need to make rock climbing the next tool in your overall fitness arsenal.

Yoga Rocks (Specialty Class)Yoga and climbing are the perfect match, so why not learn them both in one class? Climbing applies the same balance, core strength, flexibility and focus on breathing that Yoga teaches. Blending beginning level climbing movement with introductory yoga, each week participants will be introduced to progressively challenging movement and technique in both disciplines. Whether you are new to both disciplines, a climber looking to improve balance and flexibility, or a non-climber looking to try a new twist on fitness in a non-competitive, non-intimidating environment, this is the class for you!

Climbing Essentials (Specialty Class)Come learn the sport of indoor rock climbing. This introductory class taught by our certified climbing instructors will teach you the essentials. You’ll learn belaying, harness and knot use, efficient climbing movement and all the necessary safety systems. If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ve always wanted to try that”, now is your time! It’s fun, exciting, and it’s easier to get started than you might think!

The Texas A&M Sport Clubs Association provides the opportunity to compete against clubs from other collegiate institutions at the state, regional, or national level in 34 different sports, and allows members to learn or enhance their skills in a recreational setting. Each club is administered by students, has practice times and facilities, and receives some monetary support. To help subsidize the cost of travel and equipment, clubs may charge dues and participate in fund-raising activities.

While the Sport Clubs staffand the Department of Recreational Sports assist clubs in securing needed funds, facilities and equipment, the emphasis is on student leadership and development. Students are directly responsible for all aspects of operating and managing a successful, competitive organization. As a result, Sport Clubs present a unique opportunity for students to develop both athletic and leadership abilities.

Since 1974, the Sport Clubs program has captured over 200 overall team and single-event national championships and hundreds of conference championships.
