Understand the Importance
›Involvement- To get students and staff involved
Informing prospective players of the guidelines and procedures of being involved in Intramural Sports is a duty shared between IM staff and team captains.
Captain’s Responsibilities — The team captain is responsible for informing his/her team, its participants and associates, of the applicable guidelines and procedures governing Intramural Sports and the rules specific to the sport in which the team is participating. Campus Recreation and Intramural Sports utilizes the team captain to communicate official business including rule and principle violations and sportsmanship-related issues. It is the responsibility of the team captain to communicate such information in a timely manner to the team's participants and associates. Captains are urged to notify all players and fans that drugs and alcohol are prohibited at all intramural facilities and that participating under the influence can result in player or fan ejection, team disqualification, and further disciplinary actions by the Dean of Students Office.
›Fair Play- To ensure fair play in a competitive sport
Intramural sports are competitive by nature. To best ensure fairness among all our teams and participants, numerous guidelines regarding individual and team eligibility have been developed.
General Player Eligibility — Currently enrolled, fee paying students of Salisbury University are eligible for Intramural Sports leagues and events. Faculty and full-time staff (working 40 hours per week) are also eligible. SU alumni are NOT eligible.
Restricted Players — Current SU student-athletes, former student-athletes from any college or university, ex student-athletes, professional players, and sport club members face additional restrictions to their participation in sports related to their previous or current athletic endeavors.
Sport Club Members — A team’s season roster is limited to 2 sport-related club players. A player is considered a club player if he/she has appeared on the club’s roster at anytime within the last 12 months. This is a roster limit (not just those players in the game).
Varsity Athletes — Current varsity athletes may participate in IM sports not related to their varsity sport. A player is considered a varsity athlete if he/she participates in a varsity practice. Former varsity athletes are eligible to participate in their sport beginning in the academic year following their final varsity season. Former varsity athletes must participate in the highest division available in their sport; such teams are limited to 1 former varsity athlete.
Participation- To provide equal opportunities for participation.
To best ensure appropriate use of our programs by eligible participants, numerous guidelines regarding team rosters and participant pregame check-in and identification have been established.
›Safety- To ensure the safety of participants, staff, and patrons.
Intramural Sports is committed to providing a safe environment for participants, spectators, and staff by reducing unnecessary risks.
Injuries and Insurance — Salisbury University does not provide insurance coverage for any injury or accident related to participation in intramural sports or activities or any "practice" or "free play". Each individual participant should provide his/her own coverage either through family policies. All injuries, including those which might occur during "free play", should be immediately reported to the intramural supervisor on duty.
›Facilities- To maintain quality recreational facilities for the SU community.
