Committed to solidarity and fair play, representatives from the five universities of the State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA-1) gathered at the JDA Hall, South La Union Campus, for a solidarity meeting on April 14, 2024.

The meeting focused on a thorough review and discussion of the Implementation of Rules and Regulations (IRR). The objective was to refine the guidelines that govern sporting events, ensuring safe and fair conditions for all participants. This included a significant emphasis on maintaining safe playing areas and upholding the highest standards of sportsmanship.

Present in the meeting were the Sports Directors of SCUAA-1, the tournament managers led by Dr. Jocelyn Floresca, and the head coaches of the different sporting events. Following the discussions, the group conducted a detailed inspection of the gaming venues to verify that each facility meets the necessary standards for the upcoming competitions.
