Intramural Sports & Athletics

Intramural Sports programs vary by quarter and typically include soccer, basketball, table tennis, dodgeball, flag football and volleyball. Students can learn the fundamentals of sports organizations through intramural sports. They can also develop team-building skills and have a fun, healthy outlet different from traditional classroom learning. Stop by the Wellness Center to see a current list of our league and tournament sports offerings.

Although Seattle Colleges no longer competes in the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) two-year collegiate sports conference, we do have a long history of well-established Intramural Sports offerings. If you are a student interested in participating in collegiate athletics, please visit the NWAC website to see a full listing of participating colleges and sports offerings.

Outdoor Sports Courts

The outdoor sport courts facilities include a full-length basketball court, two half basketball courts, four badminton courts, four pickle-ball courts, a soccer court, two tennis courts and a volleyball beach court. The outdoor sports courts provide students facilities to pursue other sports venues and opportunities for continuing physical education through exercise equipment.
