Welcome to a new school year! Are you looking to stay in shape right from the start? Want to keep healthy and have some fun at the same time? Consider joining intramural teams or sporting events.
Here is a list of some intramural leagues and events with up-coming deadlines.
If you have gathered a enough friends and would like to sign up as a CSSS team on your own, you can get reimbursed.
If you do not have enough people to form a team but you’d still like to join a CSSS team, we have the following intramural teams open to CSSS (or Science students):
Volleyball
Tier 2 Competitive
For all levels of play, beginners encouraged to join!
Non-science imports are allowed, however, each team is allowed a max of 3.
These are not the only teams open. For other sports, if we get enough interest from individuals, separately, then we could start a team just like that. When you send us an email regarding your interest, also send us the following information:
Anyone who wants to sign up for Gladiator should
sign up now at the CSSS cube office…right across
from Dempsters. It’s on November 1st and 2nd and
should be fun.
Here’s the deal. If you and your CS friends want to make up a team for any of the UBC REC intramural leagues or tournaments, the CSSS will subsidize you 3$ for every person on that team.
