NIRSA and the 2014 Intramural Sports Institute Program Committee are pleased to announce that Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has been selected as the host city for the 2014 NIRSA Intramural Sports Institute (formerly the National Intramural Sports Symposium).


Oklahoma City is the site of the 2014 Intramural Sports Institute Program Committee.

This focused professional development opportunity for students and professionals working in intramural sports will convene June 10 – 12, 2014, at the Renaissance Oklahoma City Convention Center Hotel by Marriott. Registration for the 2014 Intramural Sports Institute will open in December 2013 and hotel reservations will be made available at the group rate of $144/night + tax. Mark your calendars—this is a not-to-be-missed event for all collegiate recreation professionals invested in intramural sports.

Whether you’re an experienced intramurals leader, new to the field, a graduate student considering a career in recreation, or a vender looking to network and showcase your product, the 2014 Institute is the place to be. This chance to represent your organization, network with leading intramural sports administrators and programmers, and gain exposure to the new and best ideas for college and university intramurals only comes around every other year. With educational sessions, discussion roundtables, the opportunity to tour first-class recreation centers, fields, and parks, as well as the chance to meet with intramural sports leaders from across the country, you’ll find a wealth of tried-and-true best practices to bring home to your intramural sports program.

In addition to the fantastic program offerings, you’ll be able to get out and discover the vibrant charm of Oklahoma City. The Renaissance is a downtown Convention Center hotel located just steps from popular destinations like the Bricktown Entertainment District; Chickasaw Ballpark, home of the Oklahoma City Redhawks; Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum; Chesapeake Arena, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder; and much more.

So, plan on joining your colleagues in Oklahoma City for the 2014 NIRSA Intramural Sports Institute. We can’t wait to see you there!
