Degree of Seriousness of the Identified Factors Affecting the Participation of King’s College of the Philippines in the Baguio-Benguet Educational Athletic League

Abstract ―​

This research examined how serious various factors are in affecting the participation of King’s College of the Philippines (KCP) in the Baguio-Benguet Educational Athletic League (BBEAL). The study utilized a descriptive survey method, employing a validated questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with seventy (70) student-athletes. Data were processed using frequency counts, percentage distribution, and weighted mean. The findings revealed that the most critical challenges included a shortage of competent coaches, limited training sessions, and insufficient financial support. Meanwhile, academic responsibilities, player availability, and health concerns were viewed as moderately significant. The results highlight the importance of the institution’s stronger commitment to sports advancement through better coaching assistance, greater financial allocation, and continuous training efforts. Therefore, it is recommended that KCP establish organized recruitment measures, enhance coaching programs, and ensure sustained resources to prepare its athletes. The study concludes that a strategic and well-supported institutional approach is essential for encouraging active participation and fostering athletic excellence within the BBEAL context.
