The FIS After School Sports Program

The FIS Sports Vision

The Franconian International School Sports Program strives to offer students the chance to develop through sports.  Through a wide variety of sporting opportunities, students will have the ability to grow physically, mentally, and socially. Teamwork, dedication, goal setting, and a sense of community are the main components of the FIS Sports Program.  Coaches and staff members all teach the same sports’ philosophy focused on fair play, individual and team growth, and having fun.

An Overview

The Program offers opportunities for both international and local competitions for students from fifth to twelfth grade.  The FIS is now a member of the GISST (German International School Sports Tournament) and will compete with ten other international schools located within Germany.  Soccer, volleyball, cross country, racquet sports, basketball, and track and field are offered for a ten week period during their respective seasons.  Fall sports run from September to December. Winter sports run from January to March with spring sports beginning in March and ending in June.  Practices are held twice a week after school. Students ages ten to thirteen play in the U14 League, while students fourteen to eighteen play at the varsity level. Games and tournaments take place on weekdays as well as some weekends.

All students are encouraged to participate in the FIS Sports Program!
