Athletic Activities

The DoDDS Europe Athletics Program is an integral part of the total learning experience. Participating schools work to promote the educational significance of "interscholastic" athletics.

To allow each student to excel in their unique gifts we have created a wide variety of athletic options. Our programs are designed to help each student grow physically, mentally, and socially. This is an opportunity for all our young men and women to participate and compete on an equitable basis.

The sports program and educational goals are guided by DoDEA, our parent organization. Throughout our competitive sports activites we work to promote sportsmanship and ethical behavior on the part of everyone: athletes, coaches, administrators, officials and spectators. And, without question, in addition to athletic mentorship, we work diligently to protect the physical well-being of each athlete.

We encourage our students to step out and try something new! For information specific to your school parents and students should see their principal or athletic director.
