UAAP Season 80

University athletic year


UAAP Season 80 is the 2017–18 athletic year of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). This season was hosted by the Far Eastern University.[6][7]

Quick Facts Host school, Tagline ...

The eight member universities of the UAAP competed in the league's 28 events from 15 sports to vie for the overall championship. This season's sports events included the inaugural 3-on-3 basketball as a demonstration sport held at FEU Manila.

Reorganization

On January 12, 2017, the presidents of the member institutions of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) met in the campus of the host university, the University of Santo Tomas, to discuss the re-organization of the association.

In an interview with the UST Rector, the Very Rev. Fr. Herminio V. Dagohoy, O.P., PhD, he said that the group "approved in principle the re-organization of the UAAP." Such entails that the Presidents/Rectors will become the members of the Board of Trustees, while the present members of the Board of Trustees will comprise the Board of Managing Directors, which will manage and supervise the UAAP events, like games, among other things.

To be created under the proposed change are "risk and audit committees, which will be under the Board of Trustees." Meanwhile, other working committees similar to existing committees will be created and placed under the supervision of the board of managing directors.

The proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws will be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission for approval, and are eyed for implementation in time for the opening of the 80th season of UAAP later in 2017.

In August 2017, the UAAP Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Michael Alba of the Far Eastern University, announced the appointment of Atty. Rene Andrei Q. Saguisag, Jr., as the Association's first Executive Director.

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremony of the UAAP Season 80 was held on September 9, 2017 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. With the season's theme, "Go for Great", the ceremony gave tribute to its long list of athletic legends.[8]

Started with various performances from students and a live band, the ceremony's highlight was the parade of athletes joined by "UAAP greats" from each school. Among the greats who represented their respective schools were Ateneo’s Alyssa Valdez and Rico Villanueva; NU’s Danny Ildefonso, Ray Parks and Christine Patrimonio; UP’s Ronnie Magsanoc, Joe Lipa, and former varsity volleyball player Congreswoman Pia Cayetano; FEU’s Glenn Capacio, Terrence Romeo and Rachel Anne Daquis; UST’s Aric del Rosario, Dylan Ababou and Cyrus Baguio; UE’s Tisha Abundo; Adamson’s Queeny Sabobo, and Ana Santiago; and DLSU’s Renren Ritualo and Marielle Benitez.

3×3 basketball

The UAAP expanded its number of tournaments by holding 3×3 basketball games in the men's and women's divisions as a demonstration sport in Season 80. The inclusion of 3×3 basketball in the list of UAAP tournaments is timely as 3×3 basketball is now an Olympic event. 3×3 basketball may be reclassified as a regular sport next season after the positive responses from member schools who all fielded a team.[11]

Juniors' division

The UAAP Season 80 Juniors volleyball tournament started on September 9, 2017. National University athletic director Chito Loyzaga and Sports Vision chairman Moying Martelino announced a partnership that resulted in the UAAP Season 80 boys and girls volleyball games being played at FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan using the facilities of the Premier Volleyball League (PVL). The San Juan venue will be the new home of the UAAP high school volleyball. The Adamson gym hosted the competition for three years since 2014. The UAAP wanted a good venue to develop young high school volleyball players. The FilOil Flying V Centre will give young and promising high school volleyball players a venue where they can perform at their very best. For the first time these high school players will get a chance to compete on a taraflex floor.

The girls volleyball matches will be played from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m. every Monday and Saturday. The boys matches will be held every Wednesday on the same timeslots. On Sundays there will be four boys matches starting at 10:00 a.m. and a lone girls game at 8:00 a.m.

National University is the tournament host. The number of participating schools in the boys' and girls' tournaments increased to eight and seven, respectively. Far Eastern University fielded boys' and girls' volleyball teams beginning season 77. Adamson fielded a boys' team starting season 79. Since there are now more than six participating schools in each tournament, both tournaments will have a Final Four format. The UAAP Board decided to move the high school volleyball tournaments from 2nd semester to 1st semester in Season 78 due to the basketball juniors tournament being moved from the 1st semester to 2nd semester.
