Team mascot and colors

edit

The school's choice of the falcon as its mascot is symbolic. Just as the falcon soars high before inflicting harm on its prey, so do the varsity teams of Adamson soar high to defeat their opponents in a sporting event.[citation needed]

Blue (navy blue) and White are Adamson's official school color.

Increasing participation

edit

The mother sports league of the Adamson Falcons is the UAAP, which has tournaments in fifteen sports. Adamson does not participate in all fifteen sports or all divisions of a sport. The school authorities are now addressing this. They have set as a goal the full participation of the school in all tournaments of the UAAP.

In Season 76 (2013–14), Adamson University fielded a high school team in the UAAP girls' division, participating in the sport of volleyball and carrying the moniker Lady Baby Falcons. Also in Season 76, Adamson fielded teams in the swimming tournament's men's and women's divisions. Then, in Season 77 (2014–15), Adamson fielded a football team in the men's division. In Season 79 (2016–17), Adamson fielded a team for the first time in a volleyball tournament. The program intends to field more teams in the coming seasons to achieve full participation.
