With over a week of classes already complete, students interested in sports and competition can start registering for NYU spring intramurals.

Intramurals have become popular at NYU in recent years, and can get very competitive.

Tisch senior Kahlil Maskati has enjoyed a long intramural career here at NYU.

“NYU intramurals are really fun,” Maskati said. “I’ve played basketball and volleyball, and I love how organized and competitive everything is. It’s gotten cooler and more interactive every year.”

CAS senior Justin Gee felt similarly,  saying intramurals can be a great way for students to interact and find common ground.

“Being a part of a team was awesome,” Gee said. “You build community and develop your skills together as the season goes on.”

Those who sign up should expect one or two times per week. But Gee emphasized the balance between intramurals and academics is not difficult.

“The structure of intramurals is great,” he said. “The scheduling was flexible enough for me to be able to handle school and enjoy playing during the semester.”

Registration on IMLeagues ends for some sports next week, while others have deadlines in March and April.
