WELCOME!
The Intramural program offers competition in sports for everyone, provided in the form of leagues, tournaments or special events. The program is designed for current students, faculty and staff. These programs provide opportunities for individuals to act in and react to sports experiences which help them develop team building and leadership skills. Intramural participation allows individuals to set goals, socialize, participate in physical activity, improve their overall physical and mental well-being and, most importantly, HAVE FUN!
OUR MISSION
- Through sports we learn about our own limits and abilities, relationships with other, sportsmanship and how to win and lose with grace, dignity and honor. Athletics can help students transcend their individual differences, relieve the stress of academic work and enhance the Northern Oklahoma College Enid sense of community.
- Intramural sports should contribute to a student’s education and well-being. Whether at the academic, intramural or club level, athletics should help teach the value of teamwork, commitment, perseverance, communication, and giving your best.
- Northern Oklahoma College Enid intramural sports programs pursue the amateur ideal in athletics by offering a wide range of activities for our students.
- The programs exist for the students. Northern Oklahoma College Enid is committed to maintaining excellent facilities, an exemplary staff and appropriate balance between athletics and other aspects of student life.
