Faculty Meets Sport

Your connection to your Faculty may feel bonded solely in academics. However, what if you were told that all Faculties also play a key role in creating an interactive and diverse sport environment. Each Faculty at UP, of which there are 9, consists of a student-led Faculty House. Each Faculty House has at least one Sport Official who will form sport teams and liaise with the tournament coordinators. Thus, meaning that you don’t have to be part of a residence to partake in sports but can also partake as part of your Faculty House!

It is important to note that the Faculty

Houses generally compete in events in which they receive the most interest from. Examples of these in 2022 were the Football, Netball, and Hockey leagues. The biggest one-day tournament was the UPlympics field and track day. Another great thing about these leagues is that anyone can play no matter their degree of expertise.

Faculty Houses can be found through their Instagram, Facebook, and on their websites. They also send emails to your UP-student email address weekly to keep you updated with academic and non-academic related news. Being a first year is overwhelming and so to make things easier, PDBY has decided to add the different Faculty House’s Instagram handles so that you all can contact the Sports and other Officials of your respective Faculty House. Don’t be shy to reach out to the Officials, they are helpful and are normal students just like you.
