Intramurals such as football, volleyball, basketball, pickleball, dodgeball and tennis are offered at Vermilion. An intramural schedule supplements the intercollegiate athletic program and provides students with opportunities for participation in intramural activities. Students who are not involved in intercollegiate athletics are encouraged to participate in these programs.
