Intramural sports or intramurals are recreational sports organized within a particular institution, usually an educational institution, or a set geographic area - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramural_sports

---------

An exhibition game (also known as a friendly, a scrimmage, a demonstration, a preseason game, a warmup match, or a preparation match, depending at least in part on the sport) is a sporting event whose prize money and impact on the player's or the team's rankings is either zero or otherwise greatly reduced.

The games can be held between separate teams or between parts of the same team. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhibition_game
