C. Becoming an Intramural Sports Official
The cornerstone of our Program is recruiting and developing
Fort Lewis College Students into quality Intramural Sports Officials through
innovative student development opportunities. Our Program could not survive
without the Fort Lewis College Student. If you or someone you know is interested
in working for the Intramural Sports Program please read on.
Intramural Sports is looking for sports-minded individuals
with a willingness to learn the art of officiating. Each semester we hold
official clinics that provide information to acquaint interested individuals
with the Intramural Sports Program. Additionally, we hire new Officials at
various times throughout each semester. Attendance at these clinics is
mandatory. For job descriptions and more information go to the Intramural
web site at www.fortlewis.edu/rec/im

Becoming an Intramural Sports Official is easy and fun. No
experience is necessary. We will train you!
