What are a captain's responsibilities?

The captain 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 captain is responsible for the following:

• Knowing the Intramural Handbook
• Registering the team on Fusion Play
• Be thoroughly familiar with all rules.
• The sportsmanship of your team.
• Notifying Rec Sports Office of any contests your team can't make

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

Each game is worth five (5) sportsmanship points. At the conclusion of each league game, the official(s) 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 also 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: More issues after an ejection.
• 0 points: The game is called due to sportsmanship issues.

A team must end the regular season with an average sportsmanship score of 4 in order to qualify for postseason play.

Individuals can participate in any intramural sport in accordance with their gender identity, regardless of legal or medical status. Participants who identify as non-binary are welcome to participate in accordance with their identity. They will be exempt from any binary gender-specific rules or regulations.

We recognize that coming to know one's gender identity can be a complex process that occurs over an extended period of time. This policy is designed to affirm and include every individual that wishes to participate.

Everyone can play! 

Current Humboldt students are eligible to participate in the intramural program at no cost, as long as they are fully matriculated students. They will need to "purchase" a $0 Student Membership to sign the appropriate Release Of Liability Waiver.

Humboldt Faculty/Staff members will be required to purchase a $15 Faculty/Staff Membership to participate.

Community members will be required to purchase a $30 General Membership to participate.

Before every game you will be required to check in to receive credit for playing and to check out a jersey if needed. If you don't check in, you will not get credit for playing, and may not be eligible for playoffs.

At the end of your game return your jersey, or you will be charged a fee to replace it. 

If you notify the Recreational Sports Office no later than 24 hours before your scheduled game, we will notify the team you are scheduled to play and inform them that you will not be there. You will not have your sportsmanship score lowered for notifying us in advance that you can't play a game. 

If you fail to notify our office 24 hours in advance, or do not have enough players to play a game, your team will receive a forfeit and you will get a 3 for a sportsmanship score.

If your team receives 2 forfeits, you will be removed from the league.

If you don't have a team you can still play, but will need to reach out to team captains to see if they have any openings on their team roster. 

Stop by a Drop In event before the season, or stop by the gym during league play to meet captains and teams to see if they have a spot for you.

We are working on the user guides for our new software, but call the office if you need any help. (707) 826-6011 10am-5pm Monday - Friday
