====== Intramural Sports ======

Intramural sports leagues are recreational, co-ed teams that compete within the Trinity environment as an alternative to the more disciplined and rigorous college [[athletics|athletics]] teams. 

Intramural sports have long been an important part of Trinity College's programs. In an effort to focus on the importance of learning outside of the classroom and physical health beyond collegiate sports, the College has continuously funded programs that motivate students to be physically active and engaged with the campus community.

When [[funston_g._keith|G. Keith Funston]] became College [[presidents|president]] in 1945, one of his main initiatives was to further support intramural sports. This again became a priority in the College's 1992 Strategic Plans.

Intramural sports teams include:   
  * basketball
  * flag football
  * soccer
  * softball
  * ultimate frisbee
  * volleyball
Students must register to participate and compete in end-of-season Championships.
