Bump for Fun

Committee members trying out the bumper balls

The Bump for Fun pre-event publicity activity was held at the entrance of UTAR Sungai Long Campus’ KB Block on 30 March 2016. It was organised by UTAR Sports Club of Sungai Long Campus. The actual event will be held at the Multi-purpose Hall, Sungai Long Campus on 19 June 2016.

The organising committee sought to introduce the sport of bumper ball to UTAR students.They achieved this by demonstrating to the students on the safety precautions to be taken during the game, while at the same time encouraging students to register themselves for the upcoming event.

Noticing the lack of sufficient opportunities for youth to participate in organised sports, Bump for Fun’s organisers conceived of this event as a means to engage more students in sports and physical activities and to promote unity among students.

Physical activity plays a significant role in promoting health and wellness and deprivation of activity robs youth of the lifelong benefits of improved physical and mental health.

Organising Chairperson Chu Jian Zong said,“ I hope students will take more initiative to participate in sports activities to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We are looking forward to the actual event day and we hope that in future, it will become an annual event in UTAR.”

“The main objective for this particular event is to promote teamwork and cooperation among UTARstudents. We hope from this event we can learn about how unity strengthens relationships to ensure seamless and effective collaboration,” said Bump for Fun Head of Programme Siew Jun Yaw.
