ODU Intramural Sports: A Spring Season of Competition and Fun
Old Dominion University students have a wide array of intramural sports opportunities available this spring, offering something for everyone from competitive athletes to those just looking for a fun way to stay active and socialize. Registration is now open for basketball, flag football, volleyball, soccer, dodgeball, badminton, and table tennis. Participation is free, and all you need to do is create an account on IMLeagues.com/ODU using your ODU MIDAS information.
Basketball Remains a Popular Choice
Intramural basketball continues to be one of ODU’s most popular sports, attracting over 900 participants annually. Teams of five will compete in regulation basketball games, with officials and scorekeepers ensuring fair play. The season includes a regular season with one game per week, culminating in a single-elimination playoff tournament. Teams can select their preferred game day and time on IMLeagues.com/ODU. Season 1 registration is open until January 26, 2026.
Beyond the Court: Diverse Sporting Options
While basketball draws large crowds, ODU’s intramural program offers a diverse range of options. Flag football, played with 7 or 8 players per team, emphasizes passing and strategy. Volleyball leagues provide a chance to serve and spike your way to victory. Outdoor soccer, requiring shin guards, offers a classic team experience. For those seeking individual or smaller-team competition, tournaments in badminton, table tennis, and 2v2 pickleball are available.
Dodgeball and the Thrill of Competition
6v6 dodgeball tournaments offer a speedy-paced, exciting experience. Matches are best four out of seven games, with a five-minute time limit per game. Teams can also select their regular season game time on IMLeagues.com/ODU.
