The mission of HSU Intramurals is to provide a variety of recreational activities selected on the basis of their contribution to the development of the whole individual; physically, socially, intellectually and emotionally.
“Play and recreation are more than mere diversions; they are recuperative requisites in the process of physical, intellectual and moral development.”
    - Karl G Maeser – 1893

The intramural program strives to provide programming for all levels of ability and experience.  Our aim is to serve the recreational needs of the majority of the student body and not just the athletic minority.
A competitive spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship is encouraged in order to provide all with a wholesome recreational experience.  Participants and employees are asked to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the principle’s of Henderson State University.

“Athletics are explosive, as any of us know who have participated in them.  Athletes make every effort to win.  The problem therefore, is to do everything that is fair and honorable to win, and also to know the line where sportsmanship stops and mockery starts….Stop short of winning if integrity is to be impaired…. Sportsmanship is the spirituality in athletes.”
- Teaching of Ezra Taft Benson
