GISST and Inter-School Program

The FIS Sports Vision

The FIS 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 GISST Program offers opportunities for both international and local competitions for students from Grades 5 to 12. The FIS has been a member of the GISST (German International School Sports Tournament) since 2011, and competes with ten other international schools located within Germany. Football, Volleyball, Badminton, Basketball, Swimming, Cross Country and Track and Field are offered during the school year. Practices are held twice a week after school or once a week for the pre-season. Students from ages 10 to 13 play in the U14 League, while students between 14 and 18 years old play at the Varsity level. Games and tournaments mostly take place on Saturdays and occasionally on weekdays.

Additionally, we offer Cross Country and Swimming training and a possibility to compete for students from Grades 2 to 5. Other non-competitive sporting activities are offered to our students as a part of the After School Activity Program.

Registration

The online registration has been opened and will close on Tuesday, September 1, 2020, at 9:00. To register your child to participate in the FIS Sports Program (GISST), please go to Parent Portal and click on the “Booking Activities” icon. You can sign up your child for any sport offered to her/his grade level this Fall season.

Please note that due to restrictions, we will not be able to run the GISST program as it was in the past. Instead of U14, Varsity and Interschool age groups, training will be re-arranged to avoid mix of grade levels, and will therefore take place in separate grade level groups.

We run a parallel U14 and Varsity Badminton program. The training sessions are twice a week during the competitive Fall season, and once a week for the prep season. GISST Badminton teams of eight selected players, 4 boys and 4 girls represent the FIS at the final tournament to culminate the season. As of this school year, we also offer training possibilities for students in Grades 3 and 4 as a part of our After School Activity Program.
