3×3 basketball

The UAAP expanded its number of tournaments by holding 3×3 basketball games in the men's and women's divisions as a demonstration sport in Season 80. The inclusion of 3×3 basketball in the list of UAAP tournaments is timely as 3×3 basketball is now an Olympic event. 3×3 basketball may be reclassified as a regular sport next season after the positive responses from member schools who all fielded a team.

The UAAP Season 81 seniors' 3×3 basketball tournament was held on March 2–3, 2019. The tournament venue was the Ayala Malls Feliz, Pasig City.[8] and the tournament commissioner was Xavier Nunag.

Team standings

UST Growling Tigers competed in the 3 x 3 tournament for the first time, while the runner-up of last seasons' tournament UE Red Warriors did not join this season's tournament.

Juniors' division

The UAAP Season 81 Juniors volleyball tournament started on October 13, 2018. The playing venue this season was at the Ateneo Blue Eagle Gym. This is a change from last season's playing venue at FilOil Flying V Centre in San Juan City. This is the second change in playing venue for the Juniors tournament The Adamson gym hosted the competition for three years since 2014.

Far Eastern University is the tournament host. The Juniors volleyball tournament Director is Ms. Karen Del Rosario.

The number of participating schools in the boys' and Girls' tournaments increased to eight and seven, respectively. Far Eastern University fielded boys' and girls' volleyball teams beginning season 77. Adamson fielded a boys' team starting season 79. Since there are now more than six participating schools in each tournament, both tournaments will have a Final Four format. The UAAP Board decided to move the high school volleyball tournaments from 2nd semester to 1st semester in Season 78 due to the basketball juniors tournament being moved from the 1st semester to 2nd semester.
