Graduate & Professional Intramurals
The Graduate and Professional Intramural Program provides an opportunity for Yale affiliated personnel to socialize, compete and exercise in a safe, friendly environment. This program offers a platform for people to find recreational release through a variety of sports and competitive levels.
The Grad-Pro Intramural program includes opportunities to join teams in volleyball, soccer, softball, basketball and ultimate Frisbee. Traditionally, teams are created by department, but interested participants looking for a team are encouraged to complete the free agency form.
Most sports consist of competitive, recreational and co-recreational leagues. For more information about the seasons, please go to the Intramural Programs page.
Registration questions please email karen.parady@yale.edu or call 203-432-1431.
Functional Fitness Program with Professor Ian Ayres
All levels of experience are welcome, but for some classes you will need an item to lift with one hand. It would also be a good to have a yoga mat, bath towel or carpeted area for floor padding.
