The Athletics programme focuses on the School’s competitive teams playing against local clubs and other international schools. ‘Athletics’ includes Football (Soccer), Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis, Track and Field, Rugby, Softball,
Swimming, Cross-country, Golf and Skiing. Team sports are offered in three seasons (Fall, Winter and Spring) with new schedules and information published on the MIS website prior to each season. Several sports fields, tennis courts, a state-of-the-art 8-lane athletics track, a fitness room and a well-equipped triple gymnasium on campus are available for trainings and competition.
The role of Athletics in a school setting goes far beyond the playing of games. The challenges of athletic competition complement the rigors of academics and encourage athletes to grow intellectually, socially, and physically in a well-balanced environment. The MIS Athletics Department strives to provide a variety of opportunities for healthy competition with a programme primarily aimed for students in Grades 6 to 12 to develop skills and sportsmanship while striving for excellence and fostering friendships.
Being fully integrated into the regional Bavarian sports system allows MIS to frequently compete on a local level against Bavarian teams. As a member of the SCIS (Sports Council of International Schools) and ISST (International Schools Sports Tournament) organisations, the MIS athletic teams regularly attend and host high-level international school competitions in Europe throughout the year.
The Athletics Department is one of three distinct sports bodies within Munich International School:
The Athletics Department is responsible for competitive interscholastic and local league teams at MIS. Our office is located on the ground floor of the gym building.
The MIS Sportverein e.V. is the entity that supports the Athletics Department through fundraising and organising volunteer help as a type of Booster Club. The Sportverein also organises recreational activities for adults like Badminton or Football (Soccer).
The Physical Education Department is a separate department responsible for teaching PE classes, a required school course. The PE department also organises special events like the Sports Days, which are not related to the Athletics Department.
What does the commitment of being on a MIS team entail?
Attend regular trainings:
Athletes have to attend regular weekly team trainings as stated on the team pages that are available within the Athletics section of the Community Portal on the MIS website.
Participate in /travel to team events/tournaments:
During each season your child will be required to attend various team events/trips and may be travelling to international destinations like France, the UK, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Italy, Greece or Poland as well as commute locally for regional league games. To give permission for your child to participate in these team trips/events, please select the available dates on the list of events within the registration form in Schoolbase. Keep these weekends free and mark them in your calendar. Full schedules of events are available on the respective team pages within the Athletics section of the Community Portal on the MIS website.
House visiting athletes from other International Schools:
When travelling on overnight trips to take part in team events and tournaments, MIS students are mainly housed by families of the host school. This is also expected from MIS families with children participating in the Athletics programme as a reciprocal agreement between all participating schools. It is recommended that families host two or more visitors at a time to make both families and their guests more at ease.
