DAGUPAN CITY โ With the theme โNurturing Competence through Grassroots Sports Development,โ the Universidad de Dagupan (UdD) Intramurals 2025 officially opened on March 31 at the Leisure Coast Resort Gymnasium, setting the stage for a month-long celebration of sportsmanship, skill-building, and unity.
In his opening remarks, Jann Alfred Quinto, MSIB, Chief Operating Officer, emphasized that the intramurals serve as more than just a competition but as a platform for holistic development, teamwork, and personal growth.
โIt is with great excitement that I welcome you all to this yearโs intramurals. This event is more than just a series of games; it is a celebration of sportsmanship, teamwork, and the unwavering spirit of our students,โ Sir Jann said.
Echoing the eventโs theme, Dr. Voltaire P. Arzadon highlighted the importance of grassroots sports in fostering well-rounded individuals, stressing that physical activity plays a crucial role in student development.
โWe need to have intramurals so that we stay healthyโnot just academically, but also physically through sports,โ Sir VPA echoed.
The Parade of Colors brought vibrant energy to the ceremony as athletes and coaches proudly represented their respective teams: Vipers (SOHS), Panthers (SOH, SOE), Lions (SIHM), Phoenix (SBA), Wolves (SOC, ISUdD, STE), and Owls (SITE).
Symbolizing the official start of the games, Jamie O. Pagarigan, a Stallions Beach Volleyball varsity player, led the lighting of the torch and the Oath of Sportsmanship, reinforcing the commitment to integrity and fair play.
University President Dr. Feliza Arzadon-Sua encouraged students to embrace the values learned through sports, emphasizing that the intramurals serve as a training ground not just for athletes, but for future leaders.
โThe lessons learned on the fieldโwhether in victory or defeatโwill shape your character far beyond this week. Resilience and dedication will equip you not only as athletes but also as leaders in your future endeavors,โ Dr. Feliza said.
Following the grand opening, students showcased their talent and spirit in dance sport, bench yelling, and the highly anticipated Mr. and Ms. Intramurals 2025 competitions.
With a focus on grassroots sports development and nurturing competence, the UdD Intramurals 2025 promises to be a dynamic and transformative experience, preparing students for challenges both in sports and in life.
