Faculty & Staff Summer Sports Series

The Faculty & Staff Summer Series are free sports tournaments for those working in UBC Vancouver’s Point Grey campus, made possible by the support of UBC Human Resources. Each of these events offers an afternoon for team-building and camaraderie away from the office. Registration options are available for entire teams or individuals looking to be placed on a team.

For team registrations, only the captain needs to register. The captain will be contacted via email once registration closes with details about submitting team rosters. For individual team registrations, players will be sorted onto teams once registration closes, and players will be contacted via email with the team information.
