UFS Sporting Codes

Performance sport refers to sport at the highest level of competition or elite sport where the emphasis is on winning competitions and medals. Performance sports activities at the UFS are those sport activities that are recognised by the Council of University Sports South Africa (USSA), and for which already established club structures exist in accordance with the KovsieSport Policy.

KovsieSport purposefully upholds and passionately creates opportunities to participate and develops high-performance student-athletes to excel in performance sports events at tertiary (including campus events), regional, national, and global levels.

Non-traditional sports are those sport activities that are not yet recognised by the Council of University Sports South Africa (USSA). The sole purpose of non-traditional sports is mass participation, and the emphasis of the participants is focused on enjoyment and not on winning. Competitions are often set up for non-traditional sports and people frequently participate in the activities just for the fun of it without doing anything to gain points or to win the competition.
