The intramural program is one of the most popular student activities at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology.

Fall Semester
- Dodgeball
- Pickleball
Spring Semester

Student ID cards are needed to participate in all intramural sports.
Student-athletes practicing and/or competing on an intercollegiate athletic team may not participate in an intramural sport during the season – only during the team’s off‐season may student-athletes participate in intramural sports.
