Intramural Program
Intramural Program
The purpose of intramural programs in schools is to offer an opportunity for
voluntary participation among students who are not skilled enough or not
sufficiently interested in a varsity-type program.
The intramural program in public schools is gradually increasing in stature,
size, and scope. The problem of heavy demand or inadequate facilities, which in the
past has allowed for little or no intramural offerings, is now being handled more
intelligently as administrators become more cognizant of their responsibility to
provide co-curricular activities for all.
Intramural Terminologies
As with all other programs, certain terms are important in any discussions or
intramurals and should therefore be defined.
Intramurals is a term which in modern usage designates the entire spectrum
of the program whose offerings range from tournaments in basketball, badminton,
chess, and other sports. Intramural literally means written on the walls. In other
words, an intramural program is one that is carried on within the confines of a
school or institution.
Extramurals, on the other hand, implies a program which is an outgrowth of
the intramural program, but which is not confined to a single institution.
Playday is a day in which representatives from two or more schools engage in
one or more competitive activities, but the identities of the schools are not retained.
Sports day is a day in which two or more schools compete in one or more
activities, but the identities of the schools are not retained.
Managerial system is advisable in a well-run program of intramurals.
Managers are students who handle the routine details of a particular activity. Such
details may include, for example, securing officials, scheduling games, and
distributing equipment.
devote to the program, who is genuinely interested in it, and who has no other cocurricular assignments.
Your role as a student in the administration of the program is a vital one. At
the beginning, intramurals are entirely conducted by students and even if the
program is to be supervised by your Physical Education teacher, your involvement
as a student is still desirable.
There are three stages in an intramural program. They are: 1) planning; 2)
execution; and 3) evaluation. Sports or intramural management may be poor,
mediocre, or good. Poor management yield standard results; mediocre management
yields average results; while good management produces satisfactory results.

2. Round Robin Tournament This kind of tournament is one where each team
plays every other team. This is recommended if sufficient time is available.
This is one of the fairest types of tournaments, since each team compete
against the total entry. It has also the advantage of allowing teams to become
better acquainted.

The number of rungs above his or her own that the team can challenge

certain time period
e. The challenge to be accepted
fulfilling his or her obligation to the team. At the end of the year, the homeroom
with the highest total number of points may receive some other kinds of individual
awards.
It is obvious that point systems, if used, must be simple. Otherwise, the
keeping of necessary records becomes an insurmountable task in terms of time and
effort involved.
When awards are given, they should be simple and inexpensive. In the case
of an accumulative year-to-year individual point system, awards should increase in
value to the participant, but they should remain of little monetary value.
Protests
Protests should be avoided whenever possible. If regulations such as the filing
of a thorough written protest within a minimal time limit and one based only on
such factors as the use of ineligible players or other violations and regulations are
adhered to strictly, the number of protests will be small. It is doubtful that any
protest against the judgment of an official should be honored. All protests should be
handled quickly and objectively by whatever group is designated to consider them.
Officiating
Since officials play such an important role in an intramural program. It is
imperative that every possible step be taken to ensure quality. Since few programs
at the school pay officials, most schools or persons in-charge of intramurals depend
on volunteers. These volunteers must be trained to officiate well. Participants in the
program must be educated to realize that their peers who officiate are, at best,
neophytes, and that mistakes which are bound to occur usually penalize both teams
equally. The sex of the officials is perhaps irrelevant. In fact, it is rather a common
practice today to assign officials only on the basis of competency and availability.
Evaluation
There are many ways to evaluate a program of intramurals. Simple numerical
statistics such as the number of participants and participations, the number of
activities offered, and the number of forfeits will tell whether the program has
grown and to what extent.
