Our NECIS* teams compete against other international schools from across Northern Europe. Every season, teams take part in a series of 'friendly' competitions which lead to an end-of-season championship tournament. NECIS offers three distinct seasons of sport fro students in grades 5 to 12. 

Fall season:  boys soccer, girls volleyball, cross country 

Winter season: boys and girls basketball, co-ed swimming

Spring season: co-ed softball, co-ed golf, girls soccer, co-ed tack & field

* NECIS is the Northwest European Council of International Schools

ISD's school championship teams compete against other schools in Nordrhein Westfalen. Teams compete in a series of one-day mini tournaments, which take place during the school day. The winners of each one-day round usually advance on to another round, until a state champion is determined. The state champion then plays in the national championships, held each year in Berlin.

Our ISD Sportverein teams compete locally, and are open to students from both ISD and the local community. Teams compete against other clubs (Vereine) from the greater Düsseldorf region. Training is typically twice a week, and games are played on most weekends throughout the school year.  

Our After-School Activities (ASA) programme allows students to learn and develop new skills in a non-competitive environment. A range of sporting and non-sporting activities are offered, with a two-week trial period at the beginning of each school year. 

Our week-long sports camps at the end of summer are available to ISD students as well as students attending German schools...

The annual ISD skiing and snowboard trip takes place each February.
