Athletic history

In 1924, De La Salle College (DLSC) became a pre-war founding member of the
National Collegiate Athletic Association The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a nonprofit organization that regulates student athletics among about 1,100 schools in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. It also organizes the athletic programs of colleges an ...
(NCAA). Irish-American Br. Celba John Lynam, FSC organized the first De La Salle sports teams. The Irish colors of Green and White were chosen as the official LaS colors; Green was based on the national color of
Ireland Ireland ( ; ga, Éire ; Ulster Scots dialect, Ulster-Scots: ) is an island in the Atlantic Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean, in Northwestern Europe, north-western Europe. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel (Grea ...
, where the original founding fathers of the De La Salle Christian Brothers originated from, while White represented the Philippines as the Pearl of the Orient Seas. The pre-war NCAA was the first and oldest collegiate athletic association in the Philippines composed of De La Salle College, San Beda College, University of the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, Institute of Accounts (now as Far Eastern University), National University, Ateneo de Manila and University of Manila. The De La Salle basketball players were first referred to as the Green Archers during the basketball games of NCAA Season 16 (1939–40), where De La Salle made its way to the finals and won against eventual archrival Ateneo in an upset for its first basketball championship title in the seniors' division of the NCAA. Accordingly, the news reporters who were covering De La Salle games at that time coined the team the "Green Archers" due in part to the De La Salle players' accurate shooting. The De La Salle Alumni Association (DLSAA) has three official mascots that are Green Archers – Gordo, Flaco, and Sally. The DLSU Green Archer statue standing in the central plaza was done by Ed Castrillo in 1985. It was first exhibited during the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee in 1986. As the Green Archer is the school mascot, the university's varsity teams are collectively referred to as Green Archers, however, each team has a specific moniker depending on what sport they play. De La Salle participated in the NCAA for 57 years until the 1980–81 NCAA Season winning five NCAA General Championships in the process (1972–73, 1974–75, 1976–77, 1977–78, and 1980–81). La Salle announced its decision to withdraw from the NCAA in September 1980. The high school (juniors' division) counterpart were the Greenies from De La Salle College High School until 1968 when the then-high school in Taft Avenue, Manila was phased out and transferred to the

(LSGH) campus in Ortigas Avenue, Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila. The Greenies had won two General Championships under DLSC. La Salle Green Hills was established in 1959 and was eventually made the high school counterpart of De La Salle College, and inherited the Greenies moniker. LSGH won eight NCAA General Championships until 1981 when La Salle withdrew from the NCAA. From 1981 through 1985 the school participated in the Philippine Integrated Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (PICUAA), invitational meets, Interclub tournaments, and the National Open.

to compete as their high school junior team in the NCAA when it applied and was accepted in 1998. Ever since joining the UAAP in 1986, DLSU has won three UAAP General Championships – Season 75 (2012–13), Season 76 (2013–14), and Season 78 (2015–16), giving the university a combined eight General Championship titles in the seniors' division in the NCAA and UAAP. Notable Lasallian athletes and alumni are inducted into the DLSAA Sports Hall of Fame.


Sports traditions


Alma Mater Hymn

The DLS school battle song was made by two De La Salle Christian Brothers - Br. Stephen Malachy FSC and Br. Bonaventure Richards FSC. The traditional battle song is sung by all Lasallian students and alumni during sports competitions, alumni parties, and school-led gatherings, with the gesture of continuously raising a tightly-clenched fist in the air and doing three fist air-pumps salutes as its grand finale. The melody originated in an American Lasallian school - San Joaquin Memorial High School in Fresno, California; the lyrics were modified, but the tune and beat remained the same. The DLS battle song was first sung during a DLS graduation event in 1964. It was adopted by the DLSC Green Archer basketball team and the DLS Yell Command Spirit Team in 1965 and eventually became the traditional alma mater hymn of De La Salle College together with the 16 Lasallian educational institutions of the Philippines. It was a defiant DLSC Yell Command Spirit Team who initiated the singing of the DLS Alma Mater Song after suffering a bitter 0-win NCAA basketball season. The DLSC Yell Command Spirit Team began the tradition of proudly singing their DLS alma mater battle song after the end of a sports competition, be it in a glorious victory or an honorable defeat. The vintage DLS tradition was later emulated by their NCAA school rivals and years later when the DLSU Green Archers entered the UAAP fray. De La Salle College was the first school in any Philippine collegiate sports league to sing its Alma Mater Hymn after the end of each sports match in the old NCAA – a practice now emulated by all competing schools in the NCAA and the UAAP.


Cheerleading

The DLSU Animo Squad was originally known in its pre-war NCAA years as Br. John Lynam's 1924 LaS Rah! Rah! Boys, then in 1926 as the LSC Yell Commanders. The LaS Spirit Team was one of the first and oldest Collegiate Cheerleading Spirit teams in the Philippines. It was renamed decades later on as the post-war DLSC Cheerleading Squad, then in the late 1980s as the DLSU Pep Squad until 2008, when it was renamed later on by Br. Bernard Oca, FSC as the present DLSU Animo Squad. The DLSU Green & White Spirit Team has since then won five cheer dance podium finishes in the span of its UAAP participation, in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2011, and 2013. The original Lasallian cheerleading spirit team was initially established in 1924 with 4 Las Rah! Rah! Rah! Boys and formally in 1926 as the pre-war LSC Yell Command pioneers. Brother John Lynam's pre-war LaS Rah! Rah! Boys, as well as his LSC and DLSC Yell Command up to Brother Bernard Oca's present DLSU Animo Squad, have been continuously cheerleading for years. In 1941, the DLSC Green & White yearbook featured a vintage black and white photo of four elementary school boys wearing their Green Archer costumes who formed the first Green Archer Grade School mascot, cheerleading squad. The original members of the collegiate De La Salle cheerleading squad were all male until the inclusion of its first female cheerleaders in the early 1970s. The DLSC cheerleading squad was the first spirit team in both the NCAA and UAAP to break from its all-male traditions and be more inclusive in having female cheerleaders in the DLSC Yell Command Spirit Team. The first female DLSC cheerleaders were then cross-enrollees from nearby St. Scholastica's College, Manila before De La Salle College turned co-educational in 1973. During De La Salle's pre-war NCAA years, Lasallites used to sing several pre-war vintage battle songs such as the "Men of La Salle!", "On Into The Fight – Green Archer Battle Song", "Cheer! Cheer! For O'l De La Salle", the "De La Salle Victory Song", "Go La Salle Fight Song", and several more.
