De La Salle has several varsity teams and sport clubs participating in different sports competitions, most notably basketball, volleyball, football and cheerleading.[210][211] In 1924, De La Salle College (DLSC) became a pre-war founding member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), in which it won five General Championships (1972-73, 1974-75, 1976-77, 1977-78, and 1980-81) until La Salle withdrew from the league in 1981. Irish-American Br. Celba John Lynam FSC, organized the first De La Salle Sports Teams and the first LaS & LSC Yell Command Spirit Team. In 1924, he established the pre-war NCAA as the first and oldest collegiate athletic association in the Philippines composed of De La Salle, San Beda, Ateneo, Letran, UP, UST, FEU, NU and UM. In 1986, De La Salle University was admitted into the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), an intercollegiate sporting association formed in 1938.[45][212] Ever since joining the UAAP in 1986, DLSU has won three UAAP General Championships - Season 75 (2012-13),[213] Season 76 (2013-14),[214] and Season 78 (2015-16),[215] giving the university a combined eight General Championship titles in the seniors' division in the NCAA and UAAP. The DLSU Animo Squad was originally known in its pre-war NCAA years as Br. John Lynam's 1924 LaS Rah! Rah! Boys, then in 1926 as the LSC Yell Commanders. The DLSC Squad was the first and oldest Collegiate Coed Spirit Team in the Philippines. It was renamed decades later on as the post-war DLSC Cheerleading Squad, then in the 1980s as the DLSU Pep Squad until 2008, when it was renamed by Br. Bernard Oca FSC, as the present DLSU Animo Squad. The DLSU Green & White Spirit Team has since then won five cheer dance podium finishes in the span of its UAAP participation, in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2011, and 2013. The original Lasallian cheerleading spirit team was formally established from 1924 to 1926 with four LaS Rah! Rah! Boys / LSC Yell Command pioneers. Br. John Lynam's pre-war LaS Rah! Rah! Boys, as well as his LSC and DLSC Yell Commander up to Br. Bernard Oca's present DLSU Animo Squad has been continuously cheerleading for 97 years. The original members of the LaS, LSC, and DLSC cheerleading squad were all male until the inclusion of female cheerleaders in the early 1970s. The DLSC cheerleading squad was the first spirit team in both the NCAA and UAAP to have female cheerleaders. The first female DLSC cheerleaders were cross-enrollees from St. Scholastica's College, Manila before De La Salle College turned co-educational in 1973. During De La Salle's pre-war years in the old NCAA, Lasallites enjoyed singing several pre-war battle songs such as "Men of La Salle!", "On Into The Fight - Green Archers Song", "Cheer! Cheer! For O'l De La Salle" and many more battle songs.[216][217] In 1941, the DLSC Green & White yearbook featured a vintage black and white photo of four elementary school boys who proudly wore their Green Archer costumes that formed the first Green Archer Grade School Boys mascot cheerleading squad. The "Hail to De La Salle" Alma Mater Song was originally composed and sung in 1961 by two De La Salle Christian Brothers, Br. Stephen Malachy FSC and Br. Bonaventure Richards FSC, in a Lasallian high school in the United States, and is presently being sung in several Lasallian schools worldwide as a battle song. The tradition of singing the De La Salle Alma Mater Song while doing the defiant raised, clenched fist "Hail! Hail! Hail!" salute has been performed since 1964. This famous Lasallian tradition was initiated by the DLSC spirit squad during the final buzzer of the Green Archers' only winless 1965 NCAA basketball season. It was the pain of suffering a zero-win NCAA season that the DLSC Yell Commanders started the tradition of proudly singing the De La Salle Alma Mater Song with their distinct "Invictus La Salle" school spirit at the end of all their 1960s pre-martial law NCAA basketball battles. The De La Salle Alma Mater Song has always been traditionally sung in every Lasallian celebration, gathering, event, varsity game, meeting, party, alumni activity, alumni wake, and alumni funeral. This popular De La Salle tradition showcases the pride in the "Animo La Salle!" battle cry which was later on emulated and presently being also done by other rival NCAA colleges and UAAP universities at the end of every game. Animo is the Lasallian term that signifies the "Spirit to Fight", and is also known as the "De La Salle Spirit". It is derived from the Latin word animus which means spirit. The "Animo La Salle!" battle cry was inspired by the 350-year-old Lasallian Spirit of "Faith & Zeal" of Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle and his Christian Brothers.

The tradition of singing Brother Stephen Malachy and Brother Bonaventure Richard's "Hail to De La Salle" Alma Mater Song (composed in 1961) after every Lasallian gathering, event, and varsity game while doing the defiant raised, clenched fist "HAIL!, HAIL!, HAIL!" salute has been performed since 1964. This famous Lasallian tradition was defiantly initiated by the DLSC cheerleading squad during the final buzzer of the Green Archers' only winless 1965 NCAA basketball season. At that historical moment, the DLSC Yell Command proudly showcased the "Invictus La Salle!" indestructible school spirit. De La Salle College started the tradition of proudly singing the De La Salle Alma Mater Song at the end of all its then-NCAA matches which were later followed by other rival NCAA colleges and UAAP universities.
The Tradition, History, and Origins of AN1MO LA SALLE! The valiant battle cry of Animo! means to have the "Spirit and Will to Fight" or being Invictus as a Green Archer to overcome and win against all adversity. Animo La Salle!, the traditional school battle cry, was inspired by Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle's Spirit and Charism of "Faith & Zeal" that his first band of De La Salle Christian Brothers strictly adhered to while working for their noble mission and arduous task of saving young, innocent street souls by Teaching Minds, Touching Hearts and Transforming Lives of the very Last, the Least and the Lost among the most venerable, neglected and outcasted youth of Europe. The Lasallian spirit of "Faith/Hope" is symbolized by a radiant Signum Fidei Star, inspired by the Nativity Star of Christmas Eve. Saint La Salle together with his first band of Christian Brothers undertook a heroic vow for their noble mission of giving hope by providing a more promising and brighter future through their tuition-free Lasallian brand of GOD-centered, Catholic education to thousands of uneducated poor children of France 350 years ago. The Lasallian spirit of "Zeal/Courage" on the other hand, is symbolized by three broken chevrons that represent the three broken leg bones painfully suffered by Warrior Chieftain Johan Salla of Atphonus the Chaste, King of Oviedo, Spain, who was the great grandfather of Saint La Salle who fought several battles while defending to protect Christian Spain from the marauding Eastern Moorish armies. The ancient broken chevrons can be seen on the 1000-year-old royal coat of arms of the De La Salle family of Spain and France. The ancient family motto is Indivisa Manent, Latin for "Permanently Indivisible", which gave rise to the modern centennial motto of the 16 Christian Brother educational institutions of De La Salle Philippines perpetually indivisible as "One La Salle!".
