Prescott Campus Intramural and Recreational Sports

Intramural sports offer opportunities to develop the skills required for successful teamwork and shared responsibility that can aid your professional development in numerous areas.

Intramural Sports encourage friendships that last a lifetime. Participating in intramurals allows you to meet people that you might not otherwise. Participants will establish social contacts and friendships while playing on the same team with, or competing against, other students and staff. Participants also learn athletic skills that will improve quality of life long after college days have past.

All students, faculty and staff of the University and their immediate families are eligible and encouraged to participate in the intramural sports programs.

All students who participate in Intramural sports are strongly advised to obtain personal medical insurance. Group rates on medical insurance are available through the Health Services Department.

Flashball is Embry-Riddle's version of flag football. Teams representing halls, clubs, or just a group of friends battle it out for the intramural title. Last year, there were over 1,400 participants in a variety of activities that made for an exciting Intramural year. During the Fall Semester there were fifteen teams playing “Flashball”, which is the ERAU version of flag football. The Spring Semester saw a record number of participants in the Basketball League with fifteen teams and the Indoor Soccer League with nineteen teams. A special thanks goes out to the fraternities and sororities for their continued support of Intramurals.

Dodgeball was a very popular activity during the Resident Hall Championships. The Village Complex’s “Manzanita” Hall # 7 won the Championship for the second time in the last three years. Their teams of “Hop Chi” and “Psi Eta Pi” lead the way throughout the year.
