WAISAL

SBC Week 5- Let’s talk school

My school has the privilege of being part of the West African International Schools Athletic League (WAISAL) that happens every year for swimming, volleyball, soccer, basketball, and math counts.

  • High School Volleyball
  • Middle School Soccer
  • Swimming (Grades 4-12)
  • Middle School Volleyball
  • High School Basketball
  • Middle School Basketball
  • High School Soccer

Reasons why I personally love WAISAL

  • You get the chance to meet new people over the course of each tournament
  • Not only do you get to play if you make the team but the atmosphere of when WAISAL is being held at your school is overwhelming
  •      Pep rallys
  •      Team Cheers
  •      Finals (if we make them)
  • ALL of it is simply amazing
  • If you do make the WAISAL team or teams it gives you the opportunity to travel to another country and get a sense of what other International Schools in Africa are like
  • Last but not least families get to host children from all across the world and some of my long lasting friendships are with some people I met at WAISAL.

 

Personally, I look forward to every single WAISAL tournament whether I get to play or not. It’s one of the funnest opportunities offered at ISD.
