Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the rate of injury in eight intramural league sports at a small (< 3,000 students) private college in the southeastern United States. The number and types of injuries were tracked during the 2011–2012 and 2012–2013 academic years for eight intramural league sports: flag football, softball, floor hockey, volleyball, 3v3 basketball, ultimate frisbee, soccer, and 5v5 basketball. For the two academic years combined, the injury rate was 5.56 (95% confidence interval, or CI, = [4.67, 6.61]) per 100 participants; the major injury rate was 0.37 (95% CI = [0.19, 0.73]) per 100 participants. By assessing the rate of injury for intramural sports, intramural staff can strategically implement action plans to minimize risk and be better prepared to respond to injuries when they occur.
