This study aims to determine the inculcation level of soft skills through petanque sport among its players at Public Institue of Higher Learning (IPTA) and the Private Institute of Higher Learning (IPTS). Specifically, this study has two objectives: (i) to identify the level of seven soft skills through petanque sport among its players at IPTA and IPTS; and (ii) to determine the relationship between the number of years playing petanque and the level of soft skills; A total of 224 respondents who enrolled in the Higher Education Institute Petanque Tournament 2017 participated in this study. The findings revealed that the level of soft skills included in this study are at high level, namely the communication skills (M=2.85, SP=.36); critical thinking and problem-solving skills (M=2.87, SP=.34); teamwork skills (M=2.89, SP=.31); lifelong learning, information management (M = 2.87, SP = .34); entrepreneurial skills (M=2.72, SP=.46); professional ethics and moral (M = 2.84, SP = .37); and leadership skills (M = 2.84, SP = .36). The chi-square (c2) test reveals no significant relationship between the number of years playing petanque and the level of soft skills among players of IPTA and IPTS (c2 = .790, p > .05). Therefore, based on the results, it can be concluded that all seven soft skills can be inculcated in the petanque’s players at IPTA and IPTS. Thus, petanque sport should be introduced and acculturated to the society at large and not restricted to students of higher education institutes only.
