Descriptive–survey was employed with standardized questionnaire to gather data and in–depth interview with the athletes and administrators to triangulate the result. Data revealed that the condition of the sports facilities and equipment is usable but not all are available for use to develop the athlete’s skill in playing the different events. There is a need to intensify the management on the implementation of sports program and support from the administration by formulating a functional and sharply outlined sports program with clear–cut policy on transparency. Most of the athletes’ participation with awards during local MASTS competition therefore, there is a need to increase the number of medals receive in the national level.
