Learn to Play

Interested in trying Intramural Sports? Build the confidence with Learn to Play! These women's sports workshops will help you learn to play new sports or brush up on your skills with familiar ones. Before your workshop, participants will be taken on a short tour of the facility - see where your intramural games will be played, and learn what other programs we have to offer!
