Have any schools tried to put together an intramural lacrosse league at their school? We just got an indoor roller hockey rink put in at UCSB and I was wondering how successful intramural lacrosse has been at any other schools. Are their any suggestions on how to make it work best? The league will hopefully start in a month.

I think you'd have to go with Intercrosse, or whatever it's called. It doesn't require helmets or pads, and would be much cheaper to implement (although still pretty expensive). One that they added about a year ago here at Tech that really took off was dodgeball (before the movie came out).

None of my friends wanted to but I always wanted to play intramural intertube water polo.

Tube water polo is so much fun. My fraternity always got shelled in tube water polo, but we had a blast. UW just added dodgeball and a swim meet this semester. Should be interesting.

The sports department is willing to fully fund the intramural lax league. I was just wondering if any other schools have intramural lacrosse. It would give people who aren't as serious about the sport, and opportunity to play.

Full contact? If it goes through I'd hate to be a lawyer working for your school.

Not body checking, but stick checks are allowed. Its just like flag football, there isn't supposed to be contact, but there is anyways. I don't think there will be many problems.

Sounds a lot like women's lacrosse...

dodgeball has been huge here since my freshman year in 2002 but I dont think a lax league would fly since a lot of people in minnesota still dont know what it is here, 5 years from now will be a different story...

I don't know if they still do or not, but Notre Dame (the South Bend one)used to have intramural lacrosse in the late 80's, early 90's. I had some friends that played it.
