Intramural sports
Welcome to Messiah University Intramural Sports!
Our intramural sports program is dedicated to facilitating a fun, safe, and competitive outlet for Messiah University students and employees to participate in organized sports activities while exemplifying Christ-like attitudes and sportsmanship. Intramural sports help students create lasting memories and friendships, build and develop character, and enjoy a physical challenge. We look forward to seeing you on the field!
