About

How

Regular Weekly Teams (after school/Saturday mornings)

• Sports are played weekly through two associations (SAAS & SACSSGSA), with registration per season ranging between $115 and $150. Unley regularly enters teams for Badminton, Basketball, Cricket, Netball, Volleyball, Soccer, AFL, Tennis & Indoor Soccer. Other sports are also available, and teams are nominated based on student interest and nominations.

During School Hours

• Knockout Sport, Carnivals and School Sport SA Championships are run during school hours, with costs varying from $20-$30. Teams and competitors catch hired buses to and from their events/matches.

• Knockout Sport run by School Sport SA is the state-wide elite competition, where state champion schools are crowned. Unley will enter teams depending on interest and ability.

• Unley also competes in several "Come & Try" Carnivals run by various sporting associations. These are often fun "come and try" type of events for sports like Beach Volleyball and Golf as well as more niche sports such as Surfing, Handball, Ten Pin Bowling and Ultimate Frisbee. These are dependent on student interest.

• There are also School Sport SA Championships, involving Athletics, Triathlon, Cycling, and Tennis.
