Game On: How Sports Shape Military Leaders


Marines are built to fight and win—and that warrior mindset doesn't stop after hours. Whether it’s on the court, field, or screen, intramural sports and esports offer powerful ways to stay sharp, connected, and mission-ready. 

Build Skills That Translate to the Mission 

From basketball and flag football to soccer and softball, intramural sports develop leadership, teamwork, and quick decision-making—skills that mirror the demands of combat and high-pressure situations.  

Esports, or competitive video gaming, may look different, but the mission is the same: think fast, communicate clearly, and execute with precision. These cognitive skills are vital both in training and real-world operations. 

Everyone Has a Place on the Team 

Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just getting started, there’s a team for you. Intramural leagues and esports are open to all Marines, offering fun ways to build camaraderie, relieve stress, and strengthen unit cohesion. 

Get in the Game 

Visit your local Semper Fit or MCCS Sports Office to join an intramural or esports league today. Your next team is waiting—on the field or in the game.
