Mission

The Sports Service contributes with its work to the final achievement of the mission and vision of San Antonio Catholic University.

The Sports Programs developed in this service are part of the image that the components of the University Community, (understood as students, faculty and workers) get from UCAM.

The Sports Service, from now on S.D., is the one that facilitates the practice of sports and represents the University in all the regional, zonal and national sports events of competitions between Universities, as well as the organization of the internal championships called Opening and President Trophies, in which a great number of students and staff participate in different sports modalities.

We put our maximum attention on the following points:

• The needs of our clients, as well as the anticipation of demands for sports services from these groups.
• Opinions, needs and expectations of groups outside the University who are interested in the S.D.
• Evolution and improvements of sports services and similar departments in other universities with more years of experience.
• Analysis of new technologies and foreseeable changes in working conditions.
• Special attention to the needs of materials and facilities of the teachers of the C.A.F.D. degree.
• The policy and strategy of the S.D. is aimed at the entire university community mainly; PAS, PDI and students, as well as society in general.

The S.D. has defined its vision as the achievement of the complete satisfaction of all the components of the university sports community, in order to achieve that our institution is considered the best in the national university sports field, promoting sports in the Region of Murcia, as well as offering a special service to the C.A.F.D. degree, managing materials and facilities of the latter as well as achieving facilities that allow such management.

The concept of mission is to provide the university community with correct information and manage our service efficiently, so that it can cover its sports needs. Likewise, to draw up sports management and development policies that will lead to greater promotion of sport at our University. Expanding the definition of mission:
