Since the beginning, different La Salle schools have engaged in a biennial inter-school competition where one school earns the 1st place, another the 2nd place and another the 3rd place. This practice has indeed developed standards of gameplay and several other ideals that one can draw from any sport. Aside from this, other La Salle schools gain awareness and appreciation of other La Salle schools, but most especially of the host school.
For the first time in the history of Lasallian sports, sense of competition and rivalry have been removed from these sports events. Instead we have a new concept: Sports Camp. Dubbed as the “Lasallian Sports Camp” for the grade school division, winners of each game will not anymore be given trophies or points. They will instead gain friendship and develop the spirit of “coopetition” (from "One Animo: The Spirit of the Game", 2008). No overall winners will be proclaimed, but rather just let the participants savor the learning experience of each game.
This year, 2009, the first Lasallian Sports Camp is going to be held at De La Salle Canlubang. With its vast green campus, the participants will definitely see the event more of a sports camp rather than a competition.
We've become one. Animo La Salle!
