Many of the web pages given are out of date, that does not mean that the team no longer plays. Feel free to edit this page with corrections or additions. The original maintainer of this page has graduated - if you'd like the job, please let the GSC know. If you are interested in playing a sport that has no listed contact, please volunteer for the position.

Basketball

  • Mailing List: ima-bball at cs (majordomo)
  • Contact: Justin Goshi (goshi at cs)
  • Homepage:

In the winter quarter we have a men's intramural basketball team. The team practices in the mornings on weekdays throughout the year. Join the mailing list for practice announcements.

At a more relaxed level, a group of people play 9am Friday mornings at the IMA with some folks from Astro. This typically happens year round.

Bowling

  • Mailing List: bowling at cs
  • Contact: Andrew Petersen (petersen at cs)
  • Homepage:

The bowling team plays all year round. Arguably, they have more fun than any other bowling team out there and they continue to play regularly in the off-season. All levels of bowlers are welcome.

Climbing

Washington is chock-full of incredible climbing, rock, ice, snow, aid, big wall, alpine. You name it it's all here.

Flag football

The department fields a co-rec intramural flag football team in the fall. We have practice once a week and a game each week.


Foosball

See the FußBallLadder.

Hiking

  • Mailing List: hikers at cs
  • Contact: Krzysztof (kgajos at cs) for hiking info and Gary Yngve (gyngve at cs) for more technical climbing stuff
  • Homepage: Hike Index visit the index for trip reports and hike descriptions compiled by your fellow CSE students

There are great places to hike in the area and many people take advantage of them.

Hockey

There used to be a group of people that play pickup roller hockey weekly throughout the year. Games are typically week nights at 9:00 on the E1 parking lot. (I have no idea if this is still true, and the people I knew who played have graduated. -sarahs) There is also a UW club team that plays in a city league.

Innertube basketball

  • Mailing List:
  • Contact: Andy Schwerin (schwerin at cs)
  • Homepage:

This is a winter intramural sport that is a lot of fun to play. Basketball in a swimming pool, while sitting in innertubes. Looks fun, is fun.

Kickball

  • MailingList:
  • Contact: Andy Schwerin (schwerin at cs)
  • Homepage

Some CS grads play in a very-low-intensity club league, run by Underdog Seattle [1]. The game is played spring, summer and fall, and it's like the kickball you might have played back in grade school.

Ping Pong

Skiing and snowboarding

  • Mailing List: snow at cs
  • Contact: Mira Dontcheva (mirad at cs)
  • Homepage:

There are a number of skiers and snowboarders in the department. Favorite places to go skiing include The Summit at Snoqualmie, Mt. Baker, Crystal Mountain, and Steven's Pass.

Soccer

We play intramural soccer in the spring and summer. In the past we have had both coed and mens teams. Many of the soccer players in the department play city league as well.

Softball

Squash

  • Mailing List: squash at cs (majordomo)
  • Contact:
  • Homepage:

Squash is a fun sport. It is like playing tennis with a wet ball.

Ultimate

We play intramural ultimate in the spring and summer. The team continues to practice and scrimage in the off-season. Several grads play ultimate on other teams. There are lots of good opportunities to play ultimate in the Pacifc Northwest area.

Volleyball
