Philosophy of Intramural Recreation
An Intramural Sports recreation program which offers activities for a wide range of current LC students, faculty, and staff interests is of vital concern to all. Persons should participate on a voluntary basis and not because they belong to a certain club or live in a particular residence hall. The intramural program must provide a safe environment for all its participants.

The Intramural Sports Program will maintain a constant search for ways to improve existing programming options by regularly surveying students, faculty, and staff as a means of better understanding their expectations of the I.M. Program.

The Intramural Sports program should emphasize ideas such as better health, wellness, teamwork and leadership skills, social interaction, sportsmanship, cultural and gender diversity and understanding while maintaining the competitiveness desired by student participants. The ultimate goal of I.M. Sports is to give LC students, faculty, and staff a positive learning and growing experience that they will always remember.

Insurance:
Lackawanna College does not provide medical, hospital, catastrophic injury or any other type of insurance designed to cover I.M. activities. It is each student participant's responsibility to provide their own insurance through an outside agency. Those that take part in activities without maintaining a proper coverage on themselves or others they may injure or do any type of damage to are solely responsible for the payment of those items. The Lackawanna College I.M. program strongly suggests that all participants maintain an insurance policy that will cover them in the event they are participating in.

Acknowledgment of Risk Statement
I acknowledge that my participation in the Lackawanna College Intramural (IMS) Program is voluntary. I am not required to participate and should not participate unless I am properly trained and medically able. I am familiar with the activity and know that during this activity hazards may occur and may result in minor or serious injury, property damage and even death. In consideration of my right to participate in IMS, I assume all risks of the activity. I recognize and acknowledge that Lackawanna College does not provide any medical and/or hospital insurance of any kind that will cover me while I am participating in any LC IMS activity. Lackawanna College strongly recommends that I provide my own insurance coverage in case of any injury or damage sustained or caused resulting from my participation in any LC IMS sponsored activities or travel. I hereby release and discharge Lackawanna College, its employees, officers and successors from all claims and liabilities of any kind arising out of my participation in and travel to or from IMS activities. This shall also serve as a release and discharge and assumption of risk for all my heirs, executor, and administrators and assigns for all members of my family.
