"Sports as a Way of Life" Program
Beginning this semester, a new program, "Sports as a Way of Life," will be offered for incoming students. The new sports program is planned to encourage students to participate in a variety of sports events and tournaments.
The aim of the program is to encourage all newcomer students to use their spare time to participate in sports programs. Activity in sports programs contributes to a peaceful and healthy campus life and gives each student a chance to make new friends. Viewing engagement in sports activities as a way of life will help students to get in shape and stay fit.
Participation in any of these tournaments and activities below is voluntary. Students can choose to join any activity they wish. The tournaments will take 4-8 weeks.
In fall 2010, tournaments will be held in the following sports: basketball, badminton, football, table tennis, squash, tennis, volleyball, and frisbee. In addition, the university will sponsor tournaments in the games of chess and bridge.
Non-tournament sports activities will include:
skill test track, tug-of-war, relay race.
