Sports bring people together. Our Athletics Program at OYIS provides a communal, friendly experience, as well as a chance for students to participate in regular physical activity, which in turn leads to healthier lives. Involvement in organized sports also provides a space for OYIS students to demonstrate confidence, leadership, and self-respect. Student-athletes manifest strong peer relationships, higher self-esteem, and a greater sense of well-being.
The aim of the elementary school athletics program is to provide all students with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals and rules of a variety of sports provided throughout the school year. Each team has a weekly practice to prepare the students for a season-end tournament.
