These rules have,been more than adequate for the administration and operation of extramural and vaisitSr- Sports at all edtkational levels. The); have provided both concrete guidelines within which cqaching can be most effective and a common base for interscholastic competition. -,These rules, however, generally have been unsuitable for use ih intramural programs. Intramural, rules tend to be modifie& adaptations of the standard national:rules or int!idually developed rule, within a given situation. This is a result of the :/ery nature of intramural piograms in that rules are atablished to, best meet the unique needs, demands and characteristics of the players in a' particular settfrig.It would be ',improper to generalize standard national rules acloss all institutional and educational levels because soMe needs would not be met, as all situations do differ. A more iMportant problem faces_ us, however, which can be alleviated by a national publication.' This relates to the steady, definite growth_ and iiiterest in co-recreational intramural activities In this case, there are currently no national rules which can be used as guidelines for adaptation tospecific, settings. As a result, many intramural program administrators are staggering;mainly by trial and error,_ to develop their Own rules in response to the increaiing demand for co-recreational activities. This publication is a di-were attempt to offer helpful suggestions and gitidelines in qstablishing ybur co-iecieational mkt. You will find rules for 11 different co-recreational activities.
