Intramural Team Challenge
This year we welcome the start of the brand new UEA Intramural Sports program. We would like to invite all students, undergraduates, postgraduates and UEA staff to compete in each of four intramural sports events. In the first semester we have Badminton and Touch Rugby on offer, and in semester two we have Basketball and Football.
Each sport will run for a 7 week program and is designed to allow friends and colleagues to band together to try their hand at a new sport in a friendly environment.
Grab some housemates, or people in the flat next door, we would love for each Hall of Residence to have some teams they could enter to play against each other. Or if you are no longer in campus accommodation, you can also develop a team and enter as well!
