The mission of the UAMS Intramural Sports program is to provide students the opportunity to participate in a variety of recreational sports and activities. The Campus Life Office is dedicated to promoting the development of the whole student through healthy competition in a fun and organized sports environment. We are committed to enhancing the institutional experience for our students while fostering a safe and inclusive environment that promotes health and wellness, sportsmanship, leadership development, and campus pride.
Sports offered through the Intramural program include golf, flag football, ping pong, basketball, and tennis. Events, activities, and facilities are open to all students enrolled at UAMS.
Sign Up for Intramurals
Sign up for teams by downloading the UAMS Student App
Team captains will sign up and create their team, then players can join that team through the UAMS App the captain creates. Please note you must use your UAMS email to sign up. All players on the team will need to sign up on this platform. Sign-ups for each sport will be available the month prior to the event.

Each September, we host our annual golf tournament at Burns Park Golf Course from noon until 6 PM. The sign-up form can be found on the forms page in the UAMS Students App in the month of August. Teams of two will compete in a two-man scramble (if you sign up as a solo player, we will find you a teammate to pair with). A sleeve of golf balls will be provided to each player, as well as a golf cart and range balls.

In the month of October, we host our flag football league each Sunday from 1-6 PM. A minimum of seven players are required to create a team. The sign-up can be found on the forms page in the app, and will be open in the month of September. We will provide flags, footballs, and other necessary equipment.

Spring Intramural Sports
Basketball League
Each February, students sign up through the UAMS Students App to create teams to compete in our intramural basketball league. We play each Sunday in February from 1-6 PM at the Pulaski Heights Middle School gym. Five players are required to create a team, although students can sign up as free agents in hopes to join a team. Basketballs and jerseys will be provided to participants. Basketball shoes are recommended, but not mandatory.
Tennis Tournament
In March, we host our doubles tennis tournament at Allsopp Park from noon to 6 PM. Two players are required per team, but players can sign up as free agents in hopes to join another solo player to create a team. Tennis balls will be provided, and extra racquets will be available if participants need one.
Just for clarity:
– A team can be created with students from multiple colleges. (ex. Team ONE-2 College of Medicine students, 2 College of Nursing students, and 3 College of Pharmacy students)
– Also If you don’t currently have a team in mind that you can be a part of, sign up as a free agent and we can create teams for you.
