Do you have to already know how to play a sport to participate in intramurals?

I haven't had a lot of experience playing sports, but I want to get more involved on campus. I think I would enjoy intramural badminton or hockey, but I've only played each a few times with my buddies just for fun in high school. Will I be taught how to play, or am I just s.o.l.? (I suppose this varies with the school, so a typical answer will suffice).
