Program Overview
The Intramurals athletics program is housed as part of the athletics program within the division of student affairs and is one of the largest co-curricular activity programs that complements the formal academic curriculum. It offers extensive opportunities to currently enrolled Westfield State College fee paying students, faculty and staff in over 30 competitive and structured activities each year.
Participation in the program is voluntary and determined by interest. Participation can provide one with opportunities to have fun, learn new activities, meet new people, test one's physical ability as well as offer a break from the routine. Team sports generally take on a league structure and a postseason tournament to determine divisional champions. Special events range from one day to several day tournaments. Skill levels and divisions are established to allow competition for co-rec, men, and women teams for most sports.
The program could not be conducted on a successful level without the services of over 100 student scorekeeper/timers, officials, supervisors, and sport coordinators. Previous experience as an official is desirable, but not required. Training clinics are generally offered at the beginning of each new sport to teach the skills required. None of these jobs will prevent participation on a team. Whether working for pay or completing requirements for a class, the program provides practical training and hands on experience in the organization and administration of the overall program.
The program works in cooperation with programs in the office of student affairs, residential life, and other campus programs, in their commitment to foster an environment where all individuals are treated with dignity, integrity, and worth. Discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, age, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, physical, mental, or sensory disability, marital status, sexual orientation, and status as a Veteran (or disabled veteran) is prohibited by Westfield State College. Hazing also is prohibited.
Participants are encouraged to stop by the intramural office, Ely 231, and meet with the sport coordinator and/or intramurals director to provide feedback and/or concerns regarding activities and/or student officials/supervisors.
