• The intramural rules have been designed to encourage participation by the majority of students while at the same time discouraging individuals and teams from gaining an unfair advantage. At all times that spirit of intramurals–maximum participation and enjoyment; not winning at any cost–must be kept in mind when interpreting the intramural rules
• Current LSSU students (as defined in the Student Handbook), LSSU faculty and staff are eligible to participate in intramural competition at no cost.
• Community and Alumni over the age of 18 are eligible to participate in intramural activities but must pay a registration fee.
• No player may participate on more than one team in the same sport. The team on which an individual first plays will be considered their team for that sport.
• Varsity athletes in season, in organized practice, or in training may not participate in the parallel intramural sport.
• Varsity letter winners at LSSU or any other four year college or university are ineligible to participate in the sport or associated sport in which that earned their letter for a period of two years following their last collegiate season.
