Welcome
to ACS Egham, the home of the Jaguars, where we offer an energetic
and diverse sports programme. Officially our three-season year
embraces 11 sports (see chart). We aim ‘to promote and teach
the values associated with healthy living, encouraging a lifelong
enjoyment of physical activity’, thereby making a major
contribution to the overall education of our students.
We pride ourselves on the high level of student involvement
in sports, and believe that participation in purposeful, competitive
interscholastic athletics will help our students lead full and
valuable adult lives. Our competitive edge is balanced by a commitment
to a ‘student first, winning second’ principle, and
our enthusiastic and experienced coaches encourage everybody to
take part. In the Middle School every student has the chance to
play on a team, regardless of their ability or experience.
In the Lower School our clubs programme, comprising soccer,
gymnastics, tennis, and track & field, is complemented by
the Woodlee Youth Sports Programme (WYSP). This programme takes
place on Saturday mornings, when there is coaching in a variety
of sports including soccer, gymnastics, tennis, basketball, hockey,
and cubs (multi-sports activities to develop co-ordination and
confidence for young children).
Over
the years we have been invited to play in various international
tournaments, such as volleyball and soccer in Amsterdam, basketball
in Rotterdam and Antwerp, tennis in Hamburg, and track & field
in Luxembourg, where we have experienced a fair degree of success.
These overseas trips have also been cultural experiences, giving
our students the opportunity to meet and forge friendships with
fellow athletes from other European schools – Bonn International
School (BIS), and the American International School of Rotterdam
(AISR), to name but two. We also play other schools in the London
area, and participate in local tournaments.
If your child joins ACS Egham, we hope that he or she will become
an integral part of the school’s sporting life, not only
gaining valuable athletic experience, but also building strong
friendships along the way.
