Throughout college ive done a handful of different sports through clubs, intramural and semi pro. Should I add intramural sports that ive participated in throughout college on my application or will it just look like a bunch of clutter?

Sports will humanize you and if you are fortunate to get a reviewer or interviewer who has been engaged in the same sport, it may spark a conversation. Go for it.

Well if it was a big part of your life at one point then put it! Just because it is not academic doesn't mean you didn't put in time and hard work.

Activities that demonstrate teamwork add value to your application. But sometimes you include activities because they interest you greatly, to show dedication over a long period of time, or so adcomms know what you do with your leisure-time. Since you don't need a separate space for each sport, group them, if you wish.
