ACS Hillingdon runs a full athletic programme fielding Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Middle School teams. We promote a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity and encourage students to put their individual skills to the test, and participate in a wide range of team sports. Apart from developing coordination, balance, and physical fitness, we view sports within the wider educational context, teaching team spirit, self-confidence, and discipline.

ACS Hillingdon has 56 teams at Middle and High School level. Not only do we have excellent facilities on our 11 acre site - a well-appointed full-size gymnasium, tennis courts, and grass sports fields - which help our teams to achieve their full potential, we also have a dedicated team of full-time coaches supported by a number of highly qualified external instructors.

ACS Hillingdon also has 4.5 acres of additional playing fields approximately 10 minutes from campus. Facilities there include a football pitch, rugby field, softball and baseball diamonds. Together these facilities offer every student the opportunity to compete in inter-scholastic athletics across a wide range of levels and disciplines.

Our athletes compete against other international schools in the UK and across Europe. Each season concludes with an International Schools Sports Tournament (ISST) where our teams have achieved considerable success. Students who play in one of our many school teams can be proud participants in tournaments held around Europe, including Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt,Vienna, and Athens. Travelling to these tournaments is a well-earned privilege, as students return with an enriched understanding of sportsmanship, competition, and cooperation.

At the end of each sports season, athletes are recognised for their participation in the athletics programme, and special awards are given to recognise individual accomplishments.

In addition to our competitive athletics programme, we also offer 4th and 5th Grade soccer. The school also runs a successful Saturday morning activities programme for Pre-K through 8th Grade that includes soccer, basketball, gymnastics, tennis, flag football, and dance. Our sports Booster Club also provides many avenues for parents to become involved in the sports activities of their child/children.
