Recreation Center and Intramural Programs
The Marietta College Intramural Program is designed to combine both individual and team sport offerings to allow students, faculty and staff an opportunity to participate in a variety of activities/events. The objective of the program is to meet the needs, interests, and abilities of all participants as well as to develop and uphold high standards of sportsmanship among individuals and groups. Team champions of each league and individual winners of single events receive a free Intramural Champion t-shirt or pair of shorts.
The program is supervised by the Director of the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center and employs a staff of work-study students who in turn organize, manage, and run the daily operations of the program. The current sport offerings include anything from flag football to volleyball to indoor soccer. There are one-day tournaments as well as leagues that require a team. Questions concerning an intramural program can be asked at the Welcome Center located in the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center or by calling the Director of the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center at (740) 376-3243.
