Sports & Fitness at JIS
At Jibreel International School (JIS), we believe that education is incomplete without sports and physical fitness. Sports not only build physical strength but also teach discipline, teamwork, leadership, and resilience—qualities essential for life. In today’s world, where children are often drawn to excessive mobile and screen time, we emphasize active living to ensure a healthy body and a focused mind. Aligned with the ICSE curriculum’s strong focus on sports and co-curricular activities, we provide our students with a wide variety of opportunities to participate, compete, and excel in both individual and team games.
Our Sports & Fitness Programs
Regular Physical Fitness Classes
At JIS, we recognize that a healthy body is the foundation of a healthy mind. All students take part in structured physical fitness sessions conducted regularly under the supervision of trained instructors. These classes are designed to:
- Improve stamina, strength, and flexibility through age-appropriate exercises.
- Build agility, balance, and coordination essential for both sports and daily life.
- Promote habits of discipline, regular exercise, and active living to counter the effects of sedentary lifestyles and excessive screen time.
- Encourage a spirit of teamwork, motivation, and resilience, laying the groundwork for success in academics and beyond.
By making fitness an integral part of the school routine, we ensure that our students grow into physically active, mentally alert, and emotionally balanced individuals.
Cricket Coaching (Boys & Girls)
Conducted in collaboration with Harvard House Sports, our cricket coaching program helps students build skills, strategy, and a sporting spirit. Over the years, our students have actively participated in various tournaments, including the prestigious Mayor’s Cup organized by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).
We take pride in the fact that our girls’ cricket team also made history by being part of the first-ever CAB tournament for girls in 2024–25, marking a proud milestone for JIS and encouraging greater participation of young women in sports.
Football Coaching
Offered in partnership with the iLEAD Sports Complex, our football coaching provides students with professional training that fosters teamwork, endurance, and sportsmanship. Students are trained under a senior coach and former National Player, ensuring high-quality guidance and exposure to competitive standards.
Our football teams have also participated in and won several tournaments, showcasing not only their skills on the field but also the determination and discipline that JIS instills in every student athlete.
Roller Skating
In association with the Sports and Fun Roller Skating Academy, our students develop balance, coordination, and competitive skills in this dynamic sport. Over the years, they have brought laurels to JIS by winning various tournaments and state-level competitions, and some have even participated at the National level, making our school proud with their outstanding performances.
Badminton Coaching
Training sessions at Byam Samity, Park Circus, introduce students to the fundamentals of badminton while also encouraging focus, agility, and competitive spirit. At JIS, we place special emphasis on encouraging girls in sports, ensuring equal opportunities and participation. The school has also organized its own badminton tournament, giving students—especially girls—a platform to showcase their talent and sporting spirit.
School Sports Mega Event (Biennial)
Every two years, Jibreel International School hosts a Grand School Sports Event—one of the most awaited highlights of our calendar. This mega celebration brings together students from all classes to showcase their talent across a wide variety of sports and fitness activities.
Parents, alumni, and well-wishers are invited to witness the event, making it a community celebration of health, fitness, and excellence. More than just competition, it reinforces the values of fair play, determination, and perseverance.
Through this biennial event, JIS reaffirms its commitment to nurturing holistic growth, ensuring that sports remain an integral part of our students’ education and development.
