Morphology

intrasquad = squad (transparent) = intra + squad

Formed by 'intra-' (within) + 'squad' to indicate a game or competition among members of the same squad; the parts directly yield the meaning.

Etymology

Intrasquad comes from the prefix intra- meaning 'within' and the word squad meaning 'team', so an intrasquad is a practice game where members of the same team play each other.
