Welcome to the Phnom Penh Activities Community!

Our hope is to create a safe space for young people to develop and grow in skill, technique, character and team work through a variety of sports and activities. PPAC8 provides a sports league for international schools in Phnom Penh with tournaments/events for volleyball, basketball, football (soccer), cross country, track and field and swimming that fosters both competition and exemplary sportsmanship. There are eight International Schools across Phnom Penh who participate in our sports tournaments and events.

This year marks the second year for the Phnom Penh Activities Community 8. The reason for using the word "activities" instead of Athletics or Sports is because our hope is that this community of schools would connect various times throughout the school year for more than just Sport. Many of these schools are involved in MUN and we hope to provide an opportunity to meet for a Young Leaders Summit in the future.

PPAC8 prioritizes fair competition by ensuring students participate in their appropriate age groups.

Strict Age Verification: Students must play in their designated age group based on a defined birth year cut-off.
Maintaining Level Playing Field: Younger players are not permitted to compete in older age groups, and vice versa. This ensures a balanced playing field for all participants.
Team Composition: Once team selections are finalized (A and B teams), and the Grading Tournament has been played, players cannot switch between teams to maintain fairness and team cohesion. The exception to this is when an A team player is injured and a B team player is required to join the A team. Once that B Team player has played in the higher division, they must remain in the A Team. This must be communicated and approved by all participating schools.

Seasons

PPAC8 holds three distinct sports seasons throughout the school year. Each season features a middle school and high school competition, while two seasons also include a primary age group category.

These seasons typically last 6-9 weeks and culminate in a thrilling two-weekend format: a grading tournament and a final tournament. Tournaments usually take place on Friday evenings or Saturdays during the day.

For sports like Track and Field, Cross Country, and Badminton, the season focuses on a single competition date when different group ages compete simultaneously.

Schools are encouraged to organize friendly games leading up to the official grading and final tournaments. These friendly matches are a fantastic opportunity for players to develop their skills and team chemistry, although their results don't impact the overall team ranking.
