At ISZL, we believe that extra-curricular and competitive sports add to the educational experience and promote the social, emotional and physical development and well-being of our students. The Athletic Department offers a variety of seasonal sports clubs and teams, with regular practices and competition within our sports organisations: Jugend und Sport (J+S), International School Sports League (ISSL), Swiss Group of International Schools (SGIS), Sports Council of International Schools (SCIS) and European Sports Conference (ESC).

In the Upper Primary School, indoor and outdoor sports clubs such as cross-country, basketball, unihockey, badminton, swimming, skiing, soccer, volleyball and track & field are part of the after-school activities programme. All students are welcome to join and participate in the seasonal practices and festivals.

In the Middle School, extracurricular sports include soccer, tennis, badminton, basketball, swimming, skiing, track and field, volleyball, softball and golf. Students also are encouraged to participate in recreational clubs that focus on climbing, running, uni-hockey, touch rugby, fencing and yoga.

At the High School, sports are played competitively in soccer, volleyball, rugby, basketball, badminton, swimming, skiing, track and field, tennis, softball and golf teams. Numerous clubs are also organised seasonally and include sailing, kayaking, running, fitness, dance and yoga.

More information about the non-competitive clubs and activities can be found here.
