Season 3

Season 3 sports are:

Touch Rugby

One of the highlights of the middle school sporting calendar is the annual touch rugby tournament we host here at JIS. Teams from ISKL and ISM travel over to Jakarta to play against JIS and several other Jakarta schools. Every student who practices regularly will have the opportunity to represent JIS in one of our teams.

Being a part of this tournament is a huge part of why athletes join this sport, and as well as the 'friendly' competition, life long friends are made when the visitors stay at our athletes houses.

An Introduction to Contact Rugby

The rugby program in high school is a very popular choice for many of our athletes. Unfortunately there is very limited opportunities for learning the basics of full contact, which leaves our younger students at a disadvantage when the opportunity to play in high school occurs. In order to help with this, we are introducing a contact rugby club. This will allow basics of contact to be taught, and expose the players to both giving and taking hits. Please note that in this one sport there will not be an end of season tournament, as no other Jakarta school offers rugby at this age level.

Badminton

Our badminton program is probably the most popular sport on offer here in middle school. As a result, we are forced to cap entries. Both boys are girls are limited to 50 places. (so sign up quickly when able). The athletes will learn the rules, practice different types of shots, as well as compete in a variety of fun challenges. A select group will be selected to represent JIS in a Jakarta tournament against other international schools. Those not selected will get to play in an 'in house' tournament here at JIS.

TENNIS

Tennis is a new addition to the program. Students will be exposed to a variety of drills, and fun games in order to develop their fundamental skills.

SOFTBALL/BASEBALL

Softball/Baseball has been moved to Season 1, so that we can maximise our facilities. The aim of the program is to increase the 'IQ' and skill level of players initially in slow pitch softball, with the hope of pushing on to either fast pitch softball, or even baseball.
