GET ACTIVE! MEET NEW FRIENDS! PLAY WITH US!
We have both a Kickoff Tournament and a Full Fall League!
Sports are awesome – a chance to get active and meet people. But finding enough teammates can be tough. The WIST Tournament and League is a great way to get active, have fun and meet new friends – and future teammates – with shared interests. Same great sport social intro multi-sport tournament with the added bonus of a sport-tour league following!
How it works:
Join us for a non-committal one-night only kick-off multi-sport tournament. We'll find you teammates to play with and give you opportunity to socialize and hopefully make friends you can come back and playw ith every week.
Following the tournament, if you're interested, we'll organize our fall league teams and create a schedule where you'll get to play a different sport each week with new friends!

Women In Sport Tour LEAGUE
About the Women in Sport Tour (WIST) League - Fall 2024
- What is it? A multi-sport experience with a focus on fun, friendship and finding new teammates.
- Who is it for? Women-identified members of our McMaster Community.
- When is it? The tour takes place every Sunday evening, from September 25th - November 27th.
- What sports are we playing? Basketball, Floorball, Soccer, Table Tennis, Ultimate Frisbee and Volleyball.
- Do I have to be good or know how to play? Absolutely not. But if you are, that's great too. There's no coaches and no cuts either way! If you want to play, you can play! Sure, some people will be very experienced, but others will be trying something for the very first time. The event night will include a 'try it' tournament before the official league begins so you can get familiar with the different sports, and we'll be careful to group you with participants of a similar experience and PlayStyle level to make sure it's fun for everyone.
- How does it work? Register as a participant on McMaster's IMLeagues page and share any friend pairing requests to intramurals@mcmaster.ca. We'll group you into teams, assign you team colours/names, introduce you to each other and send you a schedule for the season through IMLeagues.
- What does the league look like? Each team and participant can expect a mix of sports and social time, just like all Intramural Sports. You'll play games, facing (and meeting!) multiple opponents each night. Some people love winning - and there will be winners, Most Valuable Team (think 'really nice people') awards and more - but winning isn't the goal. Getting active, meeting new friends and having a great time is.
League Registration Closes Sunday 18th September!
(Though still email us after the deadline and we'll do our best to include you!)
