Intramurals

What is the process for signing up for intramurals?/Can I play with my friends? You can sign up for intramurals as a team, a player or a free agent. If you can recruit enough players or already have a group of friends looking to play together, you can create a team and invite your friends. If you do not have a group/large enough group to play in your desired sport, consider reaching our to your department's student society. Many departments put a team in our intramural leagues for students to connect. If you do not have a team and/or your department is not regitsering a team and you would still like to play you can register as a free agent to be placed on a team for your desired league or request to join an already formed team. Many free agents end up continuing on as a team after a season together. 

I'm a first year student/in residence. How can I sign up? Each league has residence hall teams for new students to join so they can connect with other students in their residences. You can sign up as a player and request to join your residence team. 

I’m under the age of majority in Nova Scotia (19 years old). How do I submit my waiver for intramurals? If you are over the age of 19, you will be able to sign our waiver electronically when you sign up for your league. If you are under the age of 19 (the age of majority in Nova Scotia), you will need a parent or guardian to sign your waiver form before playing. Completed forms can be scanned and emailed to intra@dal.ca with your banner number (B00#), sport, league and team name.

How much does it cost to play intramurals? Intramurals are free to play for all students who have paid athletics fees as part of their student account and Dalplex members. Coop, full time and internship students do not pay athletic fees, so much purchase a membership before they can register for their teams. For hockey and curling, a fee does apply. Hockey is $25 per player for the year and curling is $10 per player for the semester. Team hockey jerseys are also available for purchase – to inquire email intra@dal.ca.  

What is the time commitment for intramurals? Intramurals are played on Sundays through Thursdays from mid-September to the end of November in the fall and from mid-January to the end of March in the winter.  Each team plays a maximum of 1 game per week (about 1 hour commitment per week depending on the sport). All leagues are by semester except for ice hockey which runs from October to March.

How many intramurals can I play? You can play on maximum one team in each league. This means you could play in a men’s soccer league and a coed soccer league, but you cannot play in 2 separate coed league divisions. When registering, the system will show an error if you are trying to register for another team within the same league.

The below information is regarding Fusion Play, our new method for players to create teams and register for our intramural leagues.

Downloading Fusion Play and Logging In:

• Note that ALL players must register for intramurals using the Fusion Play mobile app. Players can no longer register the traditional way through our website.
• Players must first download Fusion Play on their mobile device. Fusion Play can be found in the App Store/Google Play Store by searching ‘Fusion Play’.
• Once Fusion Play has been downloaded, players must sign-in using their Dal Net ID (ie ab123456@Dal.ca). You will then be redirected to a Dalhousie login screen – proceed with login. Note: do NOT use an alias email address that you created to access your Dalhousie email (ie firstname.lastname@dal.ca), you must login using your Dal Net ID.

After Logging In to Fusion Play:

• You can click the search icon in the top-right hand corner to view all the leagues/divisions. You will be able to see the sport, league, division, registration open dates, and the play period.
• On the Home tab, any league that is within 2 weeks of the registration open date will appear at the bottom under All leagues.

Create a Team and Invite Players:

• Once the registration date is open, create a team by going to the Home tab and click the desired league, then click the desired division, then click the Create Team icon in the bottom-right corner. Add in your team’s name and other details, then click Create Team. You will be prompted to Share Team Invite with players you wanted to add to your team.
• Your team is now created and can be viewed in the My teams tab.
• To add players to your team, click your team, then click Roster, and then click Share Team Invite. You can send invites through any communication channel you choose. Note that if the player you are inviting does not already have Fusion Play installed, they may need to download it first before they see the team invite.

Request to Join a Team:

• You can request to join a team by clicking the desired league from the Home tab, then click the desired division, then click the Request to Join underneath the Team you want to join. Follow the steps to send your request to join. The team captain will receive a notification that you have requested to join their team.

In place of the old performance fee/intramural deposit a new non-refundable “forfeit fee” of $20 is to be paid when a team defaults. This must be paid within 48 hours of the forfeit and is to be paid in person at the Dalplex front desk in order for the team to remain in the league. If a team defaults a second time they must have permission from the Campus Recreation Coordinator to be able to pay the fee / remain in the league. If a team is on the waitlist they will be given priority to obtain the spot in the league if the forfeit fee is not paid within 48 hours of the game. To avoid a forfeit the team must contact intra@dal.ca 24 hours in advance of the game to concede event.
