The main competition is against local International schools who are all members of BISAC (Bangkok International School Athletic Conference). There is a match scheduled nearly every week and an end-of season tournament. BISAC organises a series of Under 11 Sports Festivals that mirror the U13 seasons. Schools may enter up to four teams in each festival and each student will receive a particpation ribbon.
In addition, the school is a member of the 'overseas' sports conference, SEASAC, (South East Asia Students Activity Conference) and Varsity teams compete against schools from across the region in end-of season tournaments and competitions. Finally, we also compete in the sporting events organised by FOBISSEA (Federation of British Schools in South East Asia)
Please refer to the various calendars on these pages for further details of dates and venues of the events and tournaments scheduled for this academic year.
