The Intramural Sports program offers the opportunity to participate in more than fifty action-filled team, dual, and individual sports, including perennial favorites flag football, basketball, soccer, and floor hockey. Several competition divisions are offered to accommodate various skill levels.

A unique aspect of the UCF program is referee development, in which students can be trained to officiate sports, earn money on campus, and have an opportunity to work in the Orlando community. Contact the Recreation and Wellness Center to sign up for a team or as an individual, or for more information, visit http://www.rec.ucf.edu or call 407 823 2408. Get involved and remember to take a little time each day to play.
