Intramurals

The Community Learning Campus will provide initial emergency care, such as the provision of bandages, or ice; to any participant injured during intramural games (notify staff of all injuries). THE INTRAMURAL PROGRAM WILL NOT PROVIDE SERVICES TO PREPARE OR MAINTAIN A PLAYER'S READINESS TO PARTICIPATE. In other words athletic therapy services are not provided. Participants need to bring their own tape, etc. to prepare themselves to play.

A default will occur when a team fails to appear or fails to have the minimum number of players necessary to start the game.

The captains of the teams involved have the option of agreeing to an alternative solution, providing they obtain CLC staff approval before the start of the game. A default may also occur if a team does not meet the CO-ED requirement of a given league. 

CO-ED Volleyball - Teams are made up of a 4:2 gender ratio (self-identified)A minimum of 2 players of the same gender must be on the court at all times.

All defaults will result in a fairplay rating of zero (0) (Fairplay may be later adjusted by CLC Staff)

Teams that give CLC Staff and other captains a minimum of three hours’ notice that they will not be able to field a team will not be charged with a default, the game will be declared a forfeit.

Number of games per team in a league’s playoffs will be determined by CLC Staff according to facility availability. All team members are required to play in a minimum of one (1) of their teams regular season weeks to be able to play in playoffs. Any team that missed more than three weeks during the regular season will be automatically disqualified from playoffs.

Sportsmanship is a priority. Participation in Intramural sports should be first and foremost a fun experience.

The fairplay program is an integral part of maintaining a safe, fun and enjoyable atmosphere for all involved in Intramural Sports. The fairplay program rewards those teams that compete in a sportsmanlike manner. The program does not allow those teams with a record of poor sportsmanship to participate in league playoffs. Fairplay scores are at the CLC Staff’s discretion.

After each week captains or designated team members will rank the fair play of their opposing teams on a scale of zero (0) to three (3), by answering the following question:

"Have the teams significantly contributed to the enjoyment of this game in spirit of sportsmanship and fairplay?"

A playing fee is required to register for all intramural activities and must be paid at the time the registration is made. The playing fee will be refunded in full if the league, or event is cancelled by the CLC. Refunds are only available one week (7 days) prior to the scheduled start date for the event, after this term no refunds will be processed. Failure to field a team, show up, failure of opponents to show up, or otherwise dropping out of the league are not acceptable reasons for a refund.

The CLC program will guarantee that your team will be scheduled for 10 weeks (including playoffs). However we cannot guarantee the number of games a team will play. The CLC program does not refund money to teams who receive byes due to changes during the season because of teams defaulting, dropping out of the league, the loss of games to weather, loss of games to facility changes, etc. All efforts will be made to ensure that all teams play their required games.
