Less Competitive Sporting Activities
and Recreation at LAS |
Middle School Athletics
Two times each year the three SAISA schools in Pakistan
(Karachi American School, the International School of
Islamabad, and LAS), conduct weekend-long athletic conventions.
Students from the three schools meet at the host school
and depending on the format may compete representing
their own school or at other conventions students from
different schools may be mixed onto teams. The three
SAISA schools in Pakistan try to find the right blend
of rigorous competition as well as learning to participate
together with students from other schools in a positive
manner. We will be friends with each other for a lifetime
so we engage each other accordingly!
Student and Alumni Informal Weekend Sports
In addition to the above, every weekend one can usually
find a volleyball match (Saturday afternoons) or soccer
match (or two or three!) to join on campus. There are
informal get-togethers but reflect how our students
and alumni take great advantage of our facilities. LAS
maintains a weekend facilities manager to oversee and
coordinate these activities.
Pool Activities
We also have pool hours on the weekend from 9:00 a.m.
until 8:00 p.m. in the months of April through December
and weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. During the
summer months the pool is open until 9:00 p.m. Use of
the pool by our LAS Physical Education classes and our
LAS Swim Team take priority over use by Society Members.
Usual Times of Use by Student Classes and Teams
- Physical Education classes use the pool from 7:40
a.m. until 3:00 p.m. daily.
- Swim Team usually practices from Monday through
Thursday 3:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. and Saturday mornings
from 9:00 a.m. until noon - during the months of August,
September, and October.
When not in use by our physical education classes or
the LAS Swim Team, the pool facility is available for
Lahore American Society School Members and their guests.
In order to avoid arriving to use the pool and there
being a scheduling conflict, please contact our Athletic
Director in advance in order to confirm availability.
Elementary and Middle School Clubs
(Includes sports and recreation)
At the Elementary and Middle Schools we conduct clubs
once each week right after-school. Although the clubs
change from time-to-time they include bowling, ice-skating,
soccer, cricket, chess, track and field, board games,
volleyball, basketball, etc. In club activities we only
play to have fun with our friends!
