What are a manager´s responsibilities?

The manager is a vital link between the Recreational Sports Office and your intramural team. Only those who are interested, have the time, and are willing to be responsible should volunteer to be a captain.

• A team manager is responsible for the following:
  • Register your team
  • Pay a refundable forfeit fee of $20.
  • Be thoroughly familiar with all rules.
  • Responsible for sportsmanship of your team.
  • Notify team of date, time and location of contests.

How do I register a team?

Pick up an intramural registration form at the Recreational Sports Office (FC 101) during the first week of classes. When you register your team, you will be required to pay a $20 forfeit fee. The forfeit fee is refundable at the conclusion of the season if you do not have a forfeit or an excused loss. At registration you will be given a team roster and forms for every student on your team.

You will be required to attend a managers' meeting, the date and time of the managers' meeting will be given to you at the time you register your team. The team roster and student forms will be required to be turned in at the managers' meeting.

Community teams

When teams have 50% or more non-students the team fee is $125-145, depending on sport. Individual community members that are on student teams (50% or more students) pay $20 each per team.

What is the Managers' Meeting?

The team manager or a representative from your team will be required to attend the managers' meeting. If a team representative fails to attend the managers' meeting, a team on the waiting list will be given your schedule and your forfeit fee will not be refunded. The managers' meeting will take approximately 30-45 minutes. Your team roster and student forms will be turned in at the managers' meeting. Your team schedule, rules, sportsmanship guidelines, and other information will be given out.

What is the sportsmanship policy?

The intramural sportsmanship policy at HSU is strictly enforced in order to uphold the dignity and respect of student officials and participants. The sportsmanship rating system works as follows:

A total of 25 sportsmanship points can be accumulated each season. Teams will play five league games during the season. Each game is worth five (5) sportsmanship points. At the conclusion of each league game, the official will rate the team using the guidelines outlined below:

• 5 points: A team thoroughly respects the official(s) calls and shows sportsmanship to the opposing players.
• 4 points: A team or team member fails to respect the official(s) calls and the opposing team in a minor way.
• 3 points: A team or team member receives a technical foul, yellow card, or shows poor sportsmanship to the official(s) or opposing team. Forfeits result in a 3.
• 2 points: A team or team member is ejected from a game for poor sportsmanship, receives two (2) technical fouls, or receives a red card.
• 1 point: A team or team member is asked to leave the facility to restore order in the game/facility or if any physical violence is displayed. This is a serious offense.

At any time during league play, if it becomes impossible for a team to reach the 19 points required for playoffs, the team will be eliminated from the league and a new team will take their place.

Who is eligible to participate?

All full-time students at HSU are eligible to participate in the intramural program at no cost to the students. Part-time, out of state, and foreign exchange students will be required to pay a $2 fee per team. Faculty/staff members can participate in the intramural program with a fee of $10 per team. Extended Ed students pay $10 per team.  Non students who participate on student teams will be required to pay a $20 fee per team that they participate on. Community members can register a team for a community fee of:

Community Team Fees (50% or more non HSU players)

• $145 Soccer
• $200 Basketball
• $125 Softball
• $125  Volleyball
• $145 Flag Football

We may restrict the number of community teams allowed to register because our prioity is to serve HSU students first.

If a student team has more community members than students, the team will be required to register as a community team. Before every game you will be required to stop in the intramural office and present a picture I.D. and check out a jersey. At the end of your game return your jersey and collect your I.D. If you do not have a picture I.D. you will not be eligible to play. NO EXCEPTIONS.

What if I don't have a team?

If you would like to play on a team and do not have a team to play on, don't worry. A Free Agent List is posted outside of the Recreational Sports Office (FC 151). You may sign up on the Free Agent List and teams who need extra players will call names from the Free Agent List. You can also register yourself as a manager and pull a list of names from the free agent list and organize your own team.

Who can play in tournaments?

Following the five (5) week round robin league schedule, every team with a sportsmanship rating of 19 or higher, no forfeits, and less than two excused losses will advance to the single elimination playoff tournament. All players must play in at least two league games to be eligible for playoffs. If you play on two teams in the same league you will have to choose a team to play with in the playoffs. The first team you play with will be your tournament team, no exceptions.

Make sure to check in at the Intramural Office (FC 101) before every game in order to receive credit for participating.

What if my team can't play a scheduled game?

If you notify the Recreational Sports Office 48 hours in advance that your team is unable to attend your scheduled game, we will notify the team you are scheduled to play and inform them that you will not be there.

If you fail to have enough players to play a game, your team will receive a forfeit and you will lose $10 of your forfeit fee.

If your team receives two forfeits, you will lose all of your forfeit fee and be eliminated from the league, IF there are teams on the waiting list.
