Athletics
Our Sports Programme at the International School Hamburg offers a wide range
of sports activities for girls and boys. Students can take part in the Northwest
European Council of International Schools (NECIS) Sports Programme or our Intramural Sports Programme.
NECIS Sports
The International School of Hamburg is a leading member
of the Northwest European Council of International Schools
(NECIS) Sports Council, a group of eleven international
schools that provides opportunities for our students to meet
in specified tournament activities on a competitive basis
with each school working toward a common aim to achieve a
well-balanced programme that promotes healthy competition,
sportsmanship and full participation. Each athlete is given the
opportunity to demonstrate athletic ability while maintaining
a spirit of respect and cooperation with fellow athletes from
various international backgrounds.
Other member schools include:
• The International School of Amsterdam (ISA)
• The American School of The Hague (ASH)
• The American International School of
Rotterdam (AISR)
• The Antwerp International School (AIS)
• The International School of Luxembourg (ISL)
ISH: Home of the Falcons
• The International School of Düsseldorf (ISD)
• The Copenhagen International School (CIS)
• The International School of Stavanger (ISS)
• Sigtunaskolan Humanistiska Läroverket (SSHL)
• Bonn International School (BIS)
Our ISH ‘Falcons’ teams practice twice a week and during the
soccer/volleyball/basketball seasons play weekend games as
well as the main NECIS tournament. Students are selected
for these teams on the basis of attendance at practice, effort
and ability. Home games require our students to host visiting
students and this hospitality is reciprocated when our students
travel to away games. During the main NECIS tournaments the
students are accommodated in hotels.
Other teams (swim team, track and field team, tennis team,
golf team) work towards competing in the main NECIS
Tournaments and may also play in local friendly games.
