Typically, the captain’s meeting will be held on the Thursday evening the week before play starts. It is the captain’s responsibility to attend the meeting (or assign another player on the team to attend) and bring the following items:
- Fully completed Sign-up form with team players names, phone numbers, and signatures. Please print the names clearly. Indicate the top three teams that your team would like to play. Indicate the sport you would like to play. Read the liability statement before signing up.
- Activity fee (in cash or check made out to UWSP Intramurals)
At the captain’s meeting, the general rules and expectations for participants in Intramurals will be discussed. Each captain will then wait until his/her team name is called out (in order that each team signed up online) and then turn in their completed roster form and payment. The captain is free to leave after their sport meeting is finished. After the captain’s meeting is finished the activity supervisor will create the schedules for play and send them via e-mail to the captains.
Please remember that not all teams will be able to be accommodated at the captain’s meeting. There is limited space in the Intramural program, and the teams that signed up first online will have priority and first choice of times.
No offensive or discriminatory team names will be allowed.
