League/Division Types
Open vs Co-Rec vs. Women/Non-Binary Divisions
Open – any sport labeled as “open” or that does not have any gender descriptors means that it does not have gender requirements for the on-court/on-field team. Examples of these leagues are Dodgeball and Campus Cup Multi-Sport
Co-Rec – any sport labeled as “Co-Rec” means that the on-court/on-field/on-ice team must meet certain gender requirements. For example, Co-Rec basketball requires at least 2 of on the 5 players identify as female, at least 2 identify as male, and the 5th player can be of any gender identity.
Women/Non-Binary – any sport as a “women/non-binary” league means that any participants registering for this league must identify as women or non-binary to participate.
Competitive vs. Recreational Divisions
The majority of Lakehead Campus Rec Intramural Sports just have one division, and are not divided into competitive vs. recreational. However there are certain sports, due to the number of teams, that offer “Competitive” or “Recreational” divisions.
If a division is classified as “Competitive”, it is recommended that any teams signing up for this league have moderate experience in the sport.
If a division is classified as “Recreational”, that means that teams can sign up for the division regardless of playing experience. These divisions have more of an emphasis on fun and social atmosphere as opposed to competition.
For sports with both Competitive & Recreational divisions, team placement is subject to discretion by Campus Recreation staff pending on skill level and number of teams in each division.
