Sport Facilities/Activities

Sport activities and facilities at Bethlehem University have a rich history dating back to 1973 when a group of first-year students took the initiative to establish a basketball team.

Discussions between these students and the university administration, represented by Brother Anthony and Brother Brendan (the founders of the University), highlighted the need for a dedicated coach for the team.

The team commenced its training in October 1973, initially coached by student Khalil Shoukeh, and later, in May 1974, by Mr. Amin Zeit as a part-time coach.
