ABSTRACT
The study focuses on the significance of the school base sports program
San Luis National High School to address the problem of tardiness and absenteeism.
During the conduct of the league, attendance of players was closely monitored while
grades for the 2nd semester and 1st semester were gathered and tested for significant
performances of the SARDOs from 1 st semester before the DSA and its second
semester performance during the DSA. There was an increased also of about 160 or
28.07% in our enrollment in this school year (2019-2020) compared to last school
years’ 570 in which 8.07% attributed to the DSA., and our performance also during
the recently conducted Division Meet put West III on the limelight as we have made it
to the semi-finals round and became crowd favorite compared with the last years’

I. Introduction
It has been a perennial problem of the school how to keep students in the
school for the whole duration of the week, much more for the whole month and for
the whole year respectively. Students are eager to attend school during in their 1 st
month while others have managed to reach until school Intramurals. After which, if
they were not lucky to be chosen to represent the school in the district and division
meet, many students opt to stop schooling or some committed series of absences
and habitual tardiness. San Luis National High School has 570 students enrolled
from grade 7 to grade 12 but sad to say, about 30% of them rarely you can see them
attending morning ceremony and even 1st period classes. A portion also skip classes
and choosy enough on which subject to attend. But mind you, we have shortage in
our chairs during periodical exams. Since my office was adjacent to one of the
section in which absenteeism and tardiness was rampant, my investigative mind and
my detective nature found out and exit and caught myself having conversation with
these students. Hence I found out that the reason for such behavior was another
reason that no one could imagine, i.e., going to school was boring after those
Sports programs have been an integral part in molding the minds of the
young specially those who were attending schools. They supported the academics of
the school and therefore foster success in life. These programs were educational and
help produce productive citizenship. They helped students experience and build skills
that may help them in their future specifically those sports inclined learners.
Education may kindle the light of knowledge, but sports help maintain the proper
physique. Sports were also an important means of entertainment and Proper Avenue
of burning excess energies and releasing stress gained from lectures and classroom
activities. It has been a known and proven fact that participation in high school sports

Students are full of energy, all of which cannot be spent in studies only. The
extra energy can lead students to wrong or unwanted activities which can do harm
not only for their health but will affect their studies as well. Sports activities are the
outlets of surplus energy. Students who play have their mind occupied and less likely
to have their mind wander to some other things with nature undetermined. Sports
taught students that they have to play not for their own but for the success of the
whole team thus, developing teamwork and camaraderie. It also helped students
lead a more corporate and mature life as they will be playing different roles that
would reflect life roles at present or in the future. The very breath of sportsmanship is
fair play as the noun itself means honesty, integrity, and loyalty.

can recall, Camiguin National High School, my Alma Mater had utilized such
approach headed by then our basketball coach Mr. Bernardo Pallo that resulted a
positive result. Hence, an annual basketball and volleyball league were implemented
starting on the second semester of S.Y. 2018-2019 in San Luis National High School.
The motivation for integrating sports into schools was primarily rooted in the
philosophy of humanistic education that traces back to the Renaissance and was

II. Literature Review
This part presents the review of related literature relevant to the present
study. The league itself is not an original creation of the researcher’s mind but
patterned on the Annual Basketball League (ABL) being implemented in one of the
school in Camiguin; Camiguin National High School (CNHS) by which I am the ABL
president with Adviser Mr. Bernardo Pallo. It was an intersection sports activity from
Grade 7 to Grade 12 that was played every afternoon right after classes.
Sports have positive effects to students. Just over half of all high school
students in the United States reported being involved in school- sponsored sports
(Koebler, 2011). It’s curious phenomenon unique to the US public education system.

schools (Pruter, 2013). Forming a large, urban, public school sports league
symbolized not only a significant development for organized youth athletics but also
to create opportunities that were usually reserved for students from more privileged
backgrounds (Pruter, 2013). The motivation for integrating sports into schools was
primarily rooted in the philosophy of humanistic education that traces back to the
assertion from this more holistic view of education is that sports competition
essentially can play a vital role in adolescent character formation and development.

III. Research Questions
The main purposed of this study was to address the decreasing attendance of
the students and lack of enthusiasm in going to school after sports activities
sponsored by DepEd such as School Intramurals, District Athletic Meet and Division
Athletic Meet of the students of San Luis National High School for the second
semester of the School Year 2018-2019. Specifically, it aims to answer the following
questions:
1. What is the profile of the respondents before the conduct of the Daily Sports

IV. Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study was conducted during the second semester of the School Year
2018-2019 of San Luis National High School. The participants of this study were all
identified senior high school students with absences more than 20% of the number of
school days which was only the allowable number of absences based on Deped
Order 11, S. 2011. There were 15 identified participants of this study who were
survey questionnaire relative to the study and unstructured focus group discussion to
qualify and discuss their reasons why they committed habitual absences and have
minimized committed such absences in the last two quarters where in the DSA was
at its peak.

V. Research Methodology
Sampling
A purposive sampling was used in the study since the participants of the
study were identified through the given list of each class beadle. Purposive in the
since that we only include in the research those students who committed absences
more than the allowable 20% of the total number of school days. The total 15 chosen
Data Gathering
During the implementation of the sports league, players of each team were
not allowed to play if they were absent in that certain week they have a game
schedule. We distributed attendance sheet to their class beadle for our reference
duly signed by the class adviser and collected it monthly. The researcher used
validated by Dr. Sheri Love M. Aguiman, Principal of San Luis National High School
and Dr. Maribel C. Claveria, Assisting Principal of Jacinto D. Malimas Sr. National
High School. For technical aspect was Mary Jane Saligumba English major Teacher
III and Miss Mitzi Macasarte our school research coordinator. The researcher sought
permission from the school administrator to conduct the said study as well as
implementing the said sports league. After approval, the survey questionnaire was
used in collecting necessary data relative to the research questions to the identified
students with habitual absences. Unstructured Focus Group Discussion was done to
validate the participants’ answers. The said result was then analyzed using the
profile of the participants. The T-test was used to determine the significant difference
between the academic performance of the student from the 1st two quarters before
the DSA was conducted and his performance on the last two quarters of the S.Y

VI. Discussion of Results
This part presents the findings of the study and its conclusions based from
the data gathered and statistical analysis duly supported by the reviewed literature
Findings
Attendance
Male 60 9 60%
Total 96 15 100%
Based on the results reflected on table above, most of the participants of the
attendance while 6 or 40% were females with an average attendance of 69.33 out of
96 school days for the 1st semester. All of these respondents were members of the
team and played the sports the team have participated and played according to the
rules and guidelines being implemented throughout the duration of the league. Based
on the unstructured interview done by the researchers, they were excited to come to
school every time they have scheduled games. Further, they wanted to invite friends
to enroll in SLNHS and wish that the sports league will be implemented in the next
coming school years as the league really gave them enthusiasm in going to school
every day.

Of that 9, 5 were having 75 as an average grade before the conduct of the DSA, 2
have an average of 76 while the other 2 have an average of 77. This means that,
after the conduct of the DSA, the academic performance of the respondents have
leveled up. Based on the unstructured interviewed done by the researcher himself,
they were now eager to come to school every day because of the sports activities
being conducted except for reasons uncontrollable to them. Seemed that they were
forced to go to school more often than before because the DSA mechanics were
strictly implemented, i.e., player who committed absences on the week they have

One tailed T-test was used to determine the significant difference between
the performance of the respondents who committed absences more than the
allowable 20% of the total number of school days from the first semester before DSA
and the 2nd semester of the S.Y 2018-2019 after DSA. Results of the study revealed
that t-value was 7.43 at (28) degrees of freedom was greater than the level of
significance 0.05 at t equal to 2.048 which means that the null hypothesis was
rejected. This means that there was a significant difference between the
performances of students before and after the conduct of the Daily Sports Activities.
A survey also conducted by the Minnesota State High School League in 2007 and
reported by the NFHS found that the average GPA of high school athlete was 2.84,
while a student who was not involved in athletics had an average GPA of 2.68. The
survey also showed that student athletes missed less school than their non-athlete
counterparts, with a total of 7.4 days missed and 8.8 days missed respectively
(Chen, 2018).

VII. Reflections
The researcher strongly believed that the Daily Sports Activities being
implemented throughout the 2nd semester of S.Y. 2018-2019 was very effective in
addressing SARDOs. With that, we suggest that another relative research with larger
sample will be conducted to further assess the validity and reliability of the study
while DSA was implemented in the present school year. The DSA implementation in
San Luis National High School will be a proper avenue also to hone athletes and
discover new breed of champions that would compete in the bigger arena as
