ATHLETICS
Welcome to Dallas International School, Home of "Les Tigres". Through participation in athletics, our goal is to develop a competitive character in our student athletes. As a member of an athletic team, students will learn to be strong leaders, communicators, hard workers and learn to achieve one common goal as a team.
They will learn the importance of commitment to a team, perseverance through adversity and how to demonstrate good sportsmanship on and off of the field. Our athletic program will challenge our student/athletes mentally, physically, emotionally, and will provide educational as well as daily life experiences.
Athletics provides the opportunity for the student-athlete to exhibit a progression of physical skills and knowledge of a particular sport, enabling him/her to apply these skills and knowledge to new situations in a variety of learning formats.
