Athletics
Where the ISP Falcons soar
The ISP Athletic Programme offers Middle and Upper School athletes more than just a place to compete; it's a platform for cultivating teamwork, fostering personal development, and instilling moral character.
At ISP, school spirit soars high with the Falcon as our proud mascot, uniting students and faculty alike in a shared sense of pride and camaraderie. Our spirited pep rallies serve as vibrant celebrations, igniting enthusiasm and rallying support for our teams as they take flight on the field, court, or trail.
From basketball and football to volleyball, swimming, cross country, and beyond, our student-athletes receive dedicated support from coaches and educators. They are equipped with both the skills and mindset necessary not only for success in their sport but also for the development of important life skills, ensuring they enjoy a fulfilling athletic experience.
ISP is a member of the Sports Council of International Schools (SCIS), as well as the Central Eastern European Schools Association (CEESA). Students may represent the school and work collaboratively with other CEESA/SCIS members in sports tournaments and activities festivals throughout the region.
Middle and Upper School students are also given the opportunity to represent the school in Athletics in the International School Sports Association of Prague (ISSAP).
