Far Eastern University, in its ambition to produce the best student-athletes in the country, last week inagurated its Sports Center at its Diliman campus, complementing the football pitch that is currently serving as the host of the UAAP football tournament.
It aims to be the home for basketball, volleyball, taekwondo, chess, fencing and the pep squad, while also providing administrative and support services for their athletes, with room for a dorm, locker rooms, therapy area. There is also room for a conference room and an Athletics Office.
The facility contains a world-class maple wood sports floor from Connor USA as its basketball court, the same court that is used by some NBA teams and the NCAA. It also has a customized basketball goal system, volleyball net and aluminum bleachers and protective court cover from Porter, a Philips gym lighting, Gerflor Taraflex and a UNICC digital scoreboard.
FEU is also looking into adding a flexible floor tile system for outdoor basketball or volleyball or futsal court, a fitness facility for strength and conditioning, as well as a sports resource center / library.
With a minimalist and simplistic exterior, the FEU-Diliman Sports Center aims to develop homegrown talents for the Tamaraws, with the vision of being at the caliber of a San Beda or UST, as expressed by UAAP Board Representative / school trustee Anton Montinola. He also adds that there is a likelihood of shifting the sporting activities from Morayta to Diliman, given the accessibility of the facility and absence of possible distractions.
