At Lee, there are many opportunities for students to become involved in sporting events. Intramurals give students the option to play for fun against other classmates and teams. There are regular season games and tournaments that occur on campus for the student body.
To see what sports you can be involved in and to register for Intramural events, please use the Lee University IM Leagues page found here.
To learn more information about Intramural Sports at Lee University Check out the Lee University Intramural Sports' Facebook Page.
All Group X classes are free for Lee students and employees. Signing up is simple. Go to IM Leagues and create your account then choose the classes you want to attend. You need to join each class every day you want to attend. Signing up once does not reserve your spot in future classes. Some classes do have limits, so reserve your spot early. For more information contact the Campus Recreation office located in the DeVos Recreation Center.
Club sports give Lee students an opportunity to compete in their respective sports against other institutions at the club level. In most cases, no experience is necessary. Sport clubs are student organizations and run by the respective officers and members of the club. Don't see your sport? Round up some players and get one started. For more information on joining or starting a sport club, contact the campus recreation office in the DeVos Recreation Center or the Office of Student Engagement.([email protected])
