The purpose of the intramural program is to provide for the use of physical skills in a structured environment. The intramural program is a natural outgrowth of one's physical education experience. Skills and knowledge are combined in a social and competitive environment in order to enjoy and challenge one's abilities. Benefits derived from participation in intramurals include new friendships, development of a group spirit, expanded self-awareness, and improved health and physical fitness. The intramural program is offered through the athletics and recreation department and establishes rules and regulations for participation in addition to providing supervision of activities. The intramural program is established on behalf of the students, faculty and staff of Wittenberg University. The University is committed to provide a sound organizational structure, adequate facilities, and financial support for this program.
