Intramural Officials

Be a Part of Our Team!

The objective of the intramural program at Winthrop University is to provide our students an opportunity to recreate in an organized, spirited and sportsmanlike manner. We believe our intramural program can be one of the finest in the country! One reason for this is the high quality of supervision and administration which our staff will provide.

The Intramural Official plays a critical role in activity or game supervision and administration. An official is under fire and "on the line" when he/she puts on the whistle and official shirt. It takes a special person to accept this role and to go the extra steps to assure a quality officiated contest for the participants.

Each Intramural Official is a vital part of our program and essential to the quality program we offer at Winthrop University. We provide high quality instruction for our officials in the rules, mechanics and techniques of officiating each sport. This service is free to the prospective official.
