Between work, family, and everything else, exercise is easy to skip. Our community sports sessions give you a regular time to play, a group to play with, and a space that fits your values. Join one session or several.

  • Multiple sessions throughout the week across different sports

    Choose from badminton, basketball, volleyball, and indoor soccer, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday. Show up, play, and go home better than you came.

  • Play in a Space That Fits You

    At the IIT we respect the gender boundaries established through the Deen. We maintain separate sessions for brothers and for sisters. We also have a large partition that can segregate our gymnasium into separate components to help separate genders where applicable.

  • Come for the activity. Stay for the bonds

    Players come back for the people as much as the sport. Make friends, find workout partners, and become part of the IIT community.

    Not at all. Players range from beginners to experienced. Tell the organizer and they will help you find a good fit.

    It is our community standard for respectful play. If you already play with us, complete it once. It is not a registration form.
