We are calling for papers in the field of physical education and sports science, and submissions are reviewed as they are received.

Each University varsity team holds tryouts to recruit new players. Depending on their student status, members of a varsity team may receive physical education credits for time spent in training. The number of required physical education courses is as follows:
1. Students selected for athletic achievements: Such students must participate in varsity team training, activities, and competitions or assist in department-organized athletic events (coach’s approval required) in their first three academic years (six consecutive semesters) at NCHU and must obtain a passing grade in order graduate (applicable to students admitted in or after Academic Year 2015–16). However, students whose sport does not correspond with any varsity team of the University may be exempt from the preceding restriction and may select physical education courses as regular students do.
2. Regular students who make a varsity team are subject to a trial period for their first semester on the team (during this time, they are not considered formal members of the team and must select physical education courses as normal students do). Only after passing a test by the coach may they be officially recognized as a team member and receive physical education credits for time spent training, which may be combined with the course credits they have already obtained. Students who accrue 4 semesters’ worth of physical education credits are eligible to graduate. Varsity team members are obligated to assist the Office of Physical Education and Sports in organizing sports competitions and events.
