Sport is a core component of Inspired's educational philosophy, fostering health, enjoyment, motivation, self-discipline, and confidence. AIS is committed to offering a sports program that accommodates every student, irrespective of skill level. Whether pursuing national or international achievements or simply appreciating fitness for lifelong well-being, AIS sports and physical education programs support mental sharpness essential for academic success and a love of learning.
AIS students participate in competitive sports within the Saigon International Schools Athletics Conference (SISAC), with boys' and girls' teams competing in U9, U11, U13, U15, and U19 categories. Weekly after-school matches feature a variety of sports, including basketball, football, table tennis, volleyball, swimming, tennis, badminton, netball, bench ball, touch rugby, cricket, tee-ball, cross-country and athletics.
Each year, AIS attends the Australian International School Association (AISA) Games, hosted in various countries across Asia.

Dear Parents, Alumni, Students, and the Wider AIS Community,
Welcome to the AIS Titans community!
As Director of Sport, I am delighted to welcome both new and returning members of our community to another exciting year of sport at AIS Saigon. Our sports programme is built on much more than competition; it is about creating opportunities for every student to belong, grow, challenge themselves, and build lasting connections with others.
At AIS Saigon, we believe that sport plays a vital role in a student's educational journey. Through sport, students learn resilience, teamwork, leadership, commitment, and respect, values that extend far beyond the playing field. Whether a student is taking their first steps into organised sport or striving to perform at the highest level, our aim is to provide a positive, supportive, and inclusive environment where every individual feels valued and empowered to reach their potential.
We are proud to offer a diverse range of sporting opportunities across all age groups and abilities. Our programme is designed to encourage participation, develop confidence, and foster a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity. While we celebrate success and achievement, we place equal importance on character, effort, personal growth, and the relationships built through shared experiences.
Our dedicated coaches and staff work tirelessly to support our student-athletes, helping them balance their sporting ambitions with their academic commitments while nurturing their wellbeing and development as young people. Together, we strive to create a culture where students feel inspired to challenge themselves, support one another, and represent AIS with pride both on and off the field.
I look forward to seeing our Titans community come together throughout the year and celebrating the many achievements, memories, and moments of growth that sport will undoubtedly bring.
Go Titans!
Kind regards,
Sophie Woods
Director of Sport
