So you don't have what it takes to participate in college athletics? No worries! Joining a UW-La Crosse intramural team may be the winning goal for you. And now it's easier than ever to form or join a team and play that sport you have loved for years.

UW-L Rec Sports has created a website that is sure to take your leisure time to a new plateau. Waking up at 5 a.m. to stand in line and register your team is no longer an issue. Now you can do it all from the comfort of your own room.

You have your choices of deciding if you want to be on a men's, women's, or co-rec league and if you would like to be in the "A" or "B" leagues. "A" level is more competitive and "B" level is recreational.

The process to register is simple. Just type into your URL bar www.uwlax.edu/recsports/intramural_sports.html. From there you want to scroll all the way down to Important Links and click on the icon that says IMLeagues.

According to the Recreational Sports Staff, IMleagues is the new software for Intramural Sports. This software, "gives team captains, participants, and free agents more control and freedom to manage their team(s). It includes roster additions, team pages, team logos, personalized schedules, more free agent options, and personalized homepages with statistics, total W/L/T records, and a trophy room to display championships."

When you click on IMLeagues a new page will pop up asking for your NetID and password. You will have to fill in your personal information such as, phone number, student ID, and date of birth in order to set-up your personal profile. As soon as your profile is set-up you will want to click on the link, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, in the upper left hand corner.

Ok. Now you're in and want to become the captain of your team, join a team, or join as a free agent. No problem! Go to the right hand side of the webpage and click on Player Signup. From there you will see a drop down menu with each of these listed. Click on your desired link and fill out the necessary information on the following page.

From there you'll have filled out everything that is necessary to get your recreational athletic career started.

This awesomely designed webpage not only allows you to create a profile and sign up for teams, but it gives you upcoming events with dates of registration and when captains meetings  are. All your Intramural questions will be answered by utilizing this convenient site.
