Student-Athlete Services/CHAMPS Life Skills
SAAC Bulls Pride Battle
The Bulls Pride Battle is a competitive game that is played by all the teams, in
order to provide a means by which student-athletes can compete for points in various
life skills categories. These categories focus on developing leadership, teamwork,
supporting other athletes, and academic achievement.
This competition offers an outwardly visible account of the positive things our
athletes are doing. It also holds athletes, coaches, and teams as a whole accountable
for their point total in various categories, and for the competitive side of our
athletes to be used towards something other than just athletic participation.
The winning team wins $1,000 to be used towards a team purchase.
