Penn Campus Recreation

Intramural sports provide an opportunity for participants of all skill levels to engage in structured competition at a recreational level. Teams are comprised of university members that compete against other Penn teams on campus throughout the week. 

Club sports teams are student-run organizations that provide an opportunity to engage in structured competition at a level other than the intramural or varsity level. Teams can compete socially or at local, regional, and national events. Joining a club team allows you to continue your athletic career while meeting and having fun with other like-minded individuals. More information.

Anyone with an active Recreation membership (excluding 2 week membership) is eligible to play IMs. See IM Participant Handbook for any exceptions

The easiest way to get involved is to form a team of your own with roommates, co-workers, club members, or other friends before the registration deadline. If you do not have enough players to form a team, you can register as a free agent for the chance to be picked up by another team.

All Teams in our league sports will play two to four regular-season games over a two - four week period and then there will be a post-season tournament for teams that are eligible to advance.
 

Our tournament sports range from 1 day single elimination to multi-week tournaments with pool play followed by a bracket

The University of Pennsylvania Sport Club Council (SCC) is composed of all sport clubs sponsored by the Department of Campus Recreation. The SCC complements the University's intercollegiate athletic programs, intramural activities, informal recreation, and instructional classes. The Sport Club program is administered by staff members from the Department of Recreation, who provide professional guidance and support to the clubs within the SCC.

Each club is formed, developed, governed, and managed by its student members in collaboration with the sport club administration. The key to the success of this program, and each club, lies in student leadership, interest, involvement, and participation. Sport clubs are governed by both the rules and regulations for all recognize0d student organizations on the Penn campus and those set by the Division of Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics.
