Woven into Daily School Life
Training starts early. Fixtures run all week. Our teams compete across Dubai in football, rugby, netball, basketball, cricket, athletics, swimming and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, regularly representing DIS in DASSA. Two pools, two air-conditioned sports halls, a FIFA-approved pitch and a specialist coaching team back every player, in every sport. For some, sport is about competition and performance. For others, it is about confidence, routine and enjoyment. Both matter, and both are supported. | Students are encouraged to be active, committed and involved. |
