Athletics

We are very proud of the inclusive opportunities that have been created for all secondary students at the American Cooperative School of Tunis; we believe in the value of healthy living attained by participating in sports from middle school through high school years. Additionally, our programs strive to foster school spirit and build pride in the school and community for students, staff, and parents. 

Sport activities, particularly in a school setting, play an important role not only in regards to the physical component, but also for the emotional and intellectual well-being of the students.

Through sport and competition, leadership qualities are being developed and nourished from the daily experiences. Virtues, such as discipline, sportsmanship, effort, respect, motivation,  pride, and self-confidence, are emphasized and make up the core of our philosophy. 

We strongly believe that our Athletics are matched by no other school in the region and we are proud of what we provide every year to our community. Through the years, the interest and involvement of the students are a driving force for our programs to exist, and all our efforts focus on providing the best service for them.

We hope that you will take the opportunity to explore what is available for your children.

Program Overview

ACST follows a traditional American model with three sports seasons throughout the school year. Each sports season is approximately ten weeks long and features 2-3 practice sessions per week. Our team sports typically have one game per week against local teams. Depending on the program, the season concludes with an international or local tournament. For our individual performance programs, student-athletes typically have 1-2 competitions per season, as well as an end-of-season competition. 

Eligibility

All students enrolled at ACST are eligible to participate in athletic and activity programs. All students are required to have updated medical information on file with the school’s health office and to sign the athletics agreement form in the Athletics & Activities Handbook.
