SPORT PROGRAMME

BSAK caters for the talented athlete and provides opportunities to excel as sports performers, as well as developing leadership and team building skills. Customised care and a tailored approach to each individual ensures that our students are nurtured through their sporting education.

Core Sports Our programmes focus principally on the School’s four key sports: Football, Rugby, Netball and Swimming. Students are accepted into a programme if they excel in one or more of these sports. Students are also considered if they are an excellent athlete in two or more of these sports or if they perform to a very high standard in a non-core sport.

Inspirational Workshops & Masterclasses During the sporting year, students access a variety of different workshops and seminars given by professional athletes and inspirational speakers. These events not only inspire the students but give them a chance to see what makes a proven professional performer reach their peak. Masterclasses are also made available where students gain direct coaching and guidance from elite athletes in their specific fields - a highlight of the programme.

Sporting Opportunities The school has an extensive sporting calendar which allows our students to participate at the highest level. With teams competing locally both in the Abu Dhabi (ADISSA) and Dubai (DASSA) schools leagues, this allows scholars to be pushed to varying levels of competition.

The school competes in internationally recognised multisport elite events in both British Schools of the Middle East (BSME) and Council of British International Schools (COBIS) tournaments, giving students the opportunity to showcase their talents. We also host a tri-series of tournaments in Football, Netball and Rugby and compete across a range of invitational tournaments throughout the sporting year.
