Friendship Games Events

    • A team of players on 2 sets of wooden skis, 8 people who identify as a man and 8 people who identify as a woman (4 sets of alternating males and females) will relay from one side of the field to the other.

    • Once all the players have relayed from one side of the field to the other, they must sit down and the corresponding referee will raise his or her hand to signal the completion of the relay

    • The game begins with 5 people who identify as a woman on one side of the playing field and 5 people who identify as a man on the other side.

    • The team of 10 will relay from one side of the field to the other delivering a PVC pipe between his or her leg without the use of their hands. The male passes to the female and so forth. Only the 1st person may use his or her hands to place the baton into position between their legs. Once the game begins, hands may only be used to pick up a baton if it is dropped.

    • 5 people who identify as a man and 5 people who identify as a woman will line up facing their teammate's back, having their arms extended at shoulder height. The last person in the line will then drop to his or her hands and knees and crawl quickly as they can between the legs of their teammates.

    • Upon reaching the front of the line, that person will then stand up and be in position to allow teammates to pass through his or her legs while still having arms extended at shoulder height. Corresponding teammates from the rear can only start crawling once the previous person has planted both feet down at the front of the line. The teammates will start at one end of the field and all of them will have to cross the finish line on the opposite end to complete the game

    • A team will consist of 4 people who identify as a man and 4 people who identify as a woman but only 7 people may be lined up on the ground width-wise to act as the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt will then log roll from one end of the field to the other end all while having their 8th teammate on top.

    • The "Package," which is the 8th teammate, is rolled continuously atop the team-made conveyor belt to reach the finish line located on the opposite end of the field.

    • The last person on the conveyor belt continuously switches quickly to the front of the conveyor belt, which is heading towards the finish line. If they do not switch, the transported teammate will fall off the conveyor belt and will have to start at the point where the "Package" fell off.

    • A team of 5 people who identify as a man and 5 people who identify as a woman will line up facing the back of each teammate. The team must pass a rubber kickball from one end of the field to the other by either passing the ball over their head or under their legs, alternating with each person (the first person must start passing the ball over their head, and the second person passes the ball under their legs, the third passes the ball over their head, and so on.) After passing the ball, the person at the front of the line runs to the end of the line, and play continues.

    • The game is complete when the ball has traveled completely across the field and all players have passed the finish line. Once the entire team is seated, the corresponding referee will raise his or her head to signal the completion of the team's relay.


What is Friendship Games?

Friendship Games is one of the largest student-led events in the nation. What began in 1986 to unite the Pilipinx-American community is now attended by 4,000 -6,000 college students from over 40 Pilipinx-American organizations. Each organization represents their University throughout the west coast by participating in competitive picnic games, performances, and celebrating SPUF - Spirit, Pride, Unity, and Friendship.
