Purchase College Athletics

The Intramural program is a way for students to play their favorite sports without the commitment and the pressures of being on a varsity team. We hope that all students, regardless of skill level, benefit from the program mentally, physically, and socially, and that the students take pleasure in their accomplishments through participation in the program.

Basketball
Do you love basketball, but you can't keep up with the rigorous schedule of the varsity teams? Then the 5v5 basketball league is perfect for you. SO come join the other 20 basketball players on the main court for a either a friendly competition or pick up.

Flag Football
Throwing around the pigskin has become the new American pastime. While we cannot offer you the hard-hitting styles of the NFL, flag football is the best alternative. It's the best way to play football in a semi-competitive environment and to just have fun. Come as a team or an individual to play against other purchase athletics, students, alumni, staff/faculty, and some off-campus players.

Indoor Soccer
Soccer is the most popular sport on Earth. It's the Beautiful Game. And its popularity only grows more at Purchase Intramurals. With having over 30 students take part in Indoor Soccer, there is a wide variety of skill levels and teams to play against. Whether or not if you've touched a ball or know anything about soccer, all are invited to join in the fun and build their knowledge and build your skills with a wide variety of Purchase students, alumni, and staff/faculty. SO come on in with your own team or join as an individual.

Racquet Sports
Do you wish you could be like Serena?...Or Federer? Do you love to hit around a shuttlecock? Are you "bringing sexy back" when you put on safety goggles? If that's the case, then come on down to the tennis courts or the racquetball courts and join the other 10 dedicated players in a fun friendly game of tennis, racquetball, or badminton. Skill levels do not apply here because it is all about the fun of learning and playing the game in a safe, friendly, and judge free environment.

Co-ed Softball
Slow pitch softball is one of the best pick-up sports that one can play. It's popular everywhere and Purchase Intramural is no exception. You don't need to be as good as David Wright or Jennie Finch to have fun at co-ed softball. All are welcomed to toss the ball, hit a pitch, and run the bases of the field. SO come on down, bring a team, or join as a individual and don't miss out on all the fun!

Volleyball
Whether you've played in the gym, your backyard, or on the beach, volleyball is always fun, especially here at Purchase Intramurals. The semi-competitive environment lets seasoned volleyball players and total beginners enjoy the great game of volleyball. Skill level, great or not, you will have the most enjoyable time playing with others in a safe and friendly space.

Dodge Ball
Have you ever felt the need to just throw something at someone and intentionally hit them? If this is so than Dodge ball is the sport for you. Purchase Intramurals will be hosting dodge ball on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-11pm on the bleacher court. So bring some friends and DODGE BALL! Remember.."If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!"

Wall Handball
Have you ever had the urge to just slap something really hard? Well how about releasing that urge by slapping around a rubber ball against a wall on Thursdays from 8-10 on the racquetball courts. Bring a friend and play one on one, bring two friends and play cut throat style or bring 3 friends and play doubles.

Kickball
Not so good at swinging a bat? How about you try swinging a leg? Come on down and test your legs with a fun recreational game of some good ole kickball. Purchase Intramurals will be hosting it on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30-11 on the baseball turf field.
