The goal of the sports program at Tashkent International School (TIS) is to support our physical education program by encouraging students to become well-rounded, holistic, and physically active individuals. Sport is an ideal medium not only for building a healthy lifestyle, but also for fostering the development of the International Baccalaureate learner profile through both recreational and competitive situations. At TIS our staff works hard to provide well-rounded, age-appropriate opportunities for students to participate in recreational and competitive activities. |

Beginning in grade 4 we provide students with an opportunity to represent their school within a competitive age-appropriate situation. These occur coincide with the trimester activities calendar.
Grades 4 – 7 Boys’ and Girls’ Teams – Students will have an opportunity to play on a team coached by one of our senior students. These students will prepare their teams to participate in a tournament against local schools. All grade 4 – 7 students interested in playing will be included in this program, but must commit to the two one-hour practice times each week. Basketball will run in trimester one and football in trimester three.
