Intramural sports. Whoever came up with the idea of organizing sports to seem semi-legit for competitive college students who don't play for their school is a genius. Some of y'all might not have intramural sports (I'm not sure how smaller schools do this) or maybe you're just good enough to be on your school's teams, but for those of us that aren't, this is a super fun system. So here are 13 reasons you should play intramural sports.

1. Exercise

I feel like this one should obvious.

2. Nostalgia

Many of us played sports all throughout our lives growing up, and really enjoyed them, but just don't have the crazy talent to play in college. So intramural sports give us a little throwback to the good old days.

3. Competition

I alluded to this before, but some (many) of us are very competitive people, and intramural sports are a great avenue to have some friendly competition.

4. Friends

It's a great way to meet new friends from being teammates, or getting closer to friends when y'all play together.

5. Flexible

Everyone can usually find a sport and time that works for them!

6. Hidden talents

Ok so you might not have played sports growing up and you might think that you won't be any good,but never count yourself out! Sometimes you have skills you didn't even know about.

7. The shirt

Ok so it's only intramurals and really doesn't matter, but everyone wants the shirts given to the champs.

8. Team

It's a great feeling to be a part of a team.

9. It's fun

There's just no way around it, it's straight up a lot of fun.

10. New sports

Because anyone can play anything with different levels of skill, you can try out any number of sports.

11. Because it's more sports

Honestly do we need another reason?
