Intramural Sports

Every Tuesday Night, Everyone’s an Athlete

Forget everything you know about college intramurals. At ACU, Tuesday nights from 9-10 PM transform our campus into the ultimate playground where competition meets community, and everyone—regardless of skill level—belongs on the field.

More Than Games, Better Than Fun

Our intramural program isn’t about finding the next pro athlete (though some of our games get pretty intense). It’s about:

  • Building friendships through friendly competition
  • Staying active during busy academic schedules
  • Learning teamwork that translates everywhere
  • Creating memories that outlast any trophy
  • Growing spiritually through good sportsmanship

Whether you’re a former high school star or someone who just wants to try something new, Tuesday nights are your time to shine.

Sports for Every Season

Fall Favorites

  • Flag Football (our most competitive league!)
  • Volleyball (from beginners to beach pros)
  • Ultimate Frisbee (campus favorite)
  • 3v3 Basketball (fast-paced action)

Spring Showdowns

  • Soccer (futsal and outdoor)
  • Softball (slow-pitch fun)
  • Sand Volleyball (under the lights)
  • Dodgeball (relive your childhood)

Easy to Join, Hard to Forget

Getting Started is Simple:

  1. Create your IMLeagues account with your ACU email
  2. Form a team with friends or join as a free agent
  3. Show up Tuesday nights ready to play
  4. Compete, laugh, and make memories

No experience required. No tryouts. No pressure. Just show up and play.

Club Sports: Take It to the Next Level

For those wanting more structured competition, our club sports offer regular practices and competitive schedules:

  • Lacrosse: Compete in the MCLA
  • Wrestling: Join our growing program
  • Bowling: Strike up friendships and victories
  • Dance & Cheer: Perform at games and competitions
  • Disc Golf: Master our 9-hole campus course
  • Archery: Precision meets patience
  • Soccer Club: Year-round training and games

Club sports provide the perfect balance—more commitment than intramurals, less intensive than varsity, with travel opportunities and deeper skill development.
