The mission of the Intramural Sports program at Del Mar College is to provide students, faculty, and staff with a variety of recreational sports and activities. Examples might include organized runs, team sports, fitness challenges, racquet sports, and board games. The activities selected are based on popularity and enable participants to make new friends, stay physically fit, and improve their personal health. We believe that participation in intramural sports will allow individuals opportunities to improve teamwork, as well as communication and leadership skills that will complement the goals of Del Mar College and enrich the educational experience.
The Intramural Sports Staff is working hard to provide a calendar of the Spring 2022 semester events. We want to ensure our participants' safety and offer programs and activities that give participants an outlet for competition, fitness, and fun. This semester, we will be offering virtual and in-person sporting events. In-person events will begin in February.
The last yoga session for the semester is on Friday, May 6, from 1:00 - 2:00 pm in the Kinesiology building KN 202. We have everything you need.
If you participated in an intramural event virtually or participated in yoga, you can pick up a t-shirt on May 2 or May 3 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm in the Kinesiology Building, KN 210. Enter through the Aquatics Center entrance.
In-Person Intramural Events
