Southern provides organized sports activities through the intramural program administered by the School of Health and Kinesiology. The program is committed to excellence and offers activities that foster a positive, safe, and active social and moral environment. The goal of the intramural recreation program is to provide a wide variety of positive experiences for as many students as possible.
All students and employees who meet one of the following eligibility criteria may involve themselves in all intramurals.
The Intramural Office has set up rules of fair play consistent with Christian values that all participants are expected to follow. Failure to follow those rules may result in suspension from participation in intramurals. On rare occasions, a student who has egregiously violated the rules may be referred to Student Conduct.
In order to protect the physical well-being of students and the liability of the university, Southern prohibits participation in sports with excessive physical contact, such as tackle football.
Southern does not sponsor or participate in athletic competition with other educational institutions or churches.
