INTRAMMMSSSS
“Intramurals are when students are provided with various purposeful opportunities to engage in fun, inclusive, and meaningful physical activities with other students at their school and outside of instructional time.” (Ophea 2023)
A quality intramural program provides a unique opportunity for school-wide involvement of numerous students. A range of approaches are considered when designing an intramural program to offer the greatest opportunity possible for every student based on time available, student interest and needs, and meaningful participation for everyone. Intramural organizers adopt a collaborative leadership approach with students, school staff, and community partners. Shared planning and decision making is leveraged to promote physically and emotionally safer environments for participation.
Most importantly, intramurals are student-centered. By engaging students throughout the process, from planning to facilitating activities, intramural organizers can promote student voice and choice, and encourage meaningful connections with peers. Quality intramural programs provide activities based on student input, provide multiple entry points to increase student engagement and participation, and focus on inclusive, fun events or activities that maximize physical activity participation for every student.
