This study examined the rolesplayed by University of the PhilippinesDiliman (UP Diliman) varsity athletics coaches who practice transformational leadership skills in motivating the non-roster student-athletes of the different sports teams. For the purpose of this study, student-athletes who were not part of the University’s official line-upfor the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 76 (AY 2013-2014) were categorized as "non-roster student-athletes."
	This study highlightedhow the non-roster student-athletescommunicated with their coaches duringthe off-season and the UAAP season, including the period during official game days, training days and other team-related events. The researchers used the qualitative approach in this study and conducted focus interviews withnon-roster student-athletes fromdifferent athletic varsityteams. The interviewees came from a pool of non-roster student-athletes who were referred to the researchers by other athletes.
	In analyzing the answers of the respondents, the study used the Transformational Leadership Theorywhich focused on four factors that affected the amount of motivationthat the non-roster student-athletes got from their coaches. The four factors were:1) idealized influence, 2)inspirational motivation, 3)intellectual stimulation, and 4) individual consideration.
