Athletics & Sporting Introduction

Dalat International School is not only known for its pursuit of excellence in academics and character but also in athletics. Dalat has a well developed physical education and athletic program, overseen by the Athletic Director, providing physical activity for all classes and competitive teams that participate with local and other international schools in Malaysia and SE Asia.

Dalat’s sports program includes boys and girl’s basketball, boys and girls soccer (football), softball, volleyball, swimming, and track and field at the varsity and junior varsity levels. Most recently the varsity boy’s soccer team won the Penang Island North Zone Championship (equivalent of a state championship) and the varsity boy’s basketball teams were Penang State Champions in 2004, 2006, and 2011. Other  sports include swimming, tennis and baseball.

Physical education is for everyone and Dalat students learn the importance of living a healthy existence which is part of an “education for life”. All students have scheduled physical activity twice a week with numerous additional opportunities during after school activities, clubs, and teams.
