MS Athletics and BISAC

The Bangkok International School Athletic Conference (BISAC) is an athletic conference made up of international schools in and around the greater Bangkok area. Our MS students compete with other BISAC schools in the Under-15 and Under-13 age groups .

By BISAC rules, the age of the student is defined by their age as of 01 August of the current school year. This year, to be eligible for our U15 teams, students must have been born after 01 August, 1994. To be eligible for the U13 teams, students must have been born after 01 August, 1996.

ISB’s MS Athletics program only allows MS students to be eligible for participation on the U-15 and U13 teams. While some Grade 9 students would be eligible according to age on the U-15 teams , our practice is to reserve the U-15 program for MS students only.

This year, to participate in the U-15 program, students must have a Pre-Participation Exam ( PPE ) completed and on-file with the MS Activities Office. The forms are available at the SOAR Center. To assist families in arranging for the MS-PPE, Doctors from Samitivej Hospital will be at the MPB on Tuesday, 11 August from 2:15 - 4:30 to perform physical exams for a nominal fee. of baht 400. At the beginning of each season, Coaches will be given a list of students who have a current MS-PPE on file in the MS SOAR Center. Only those students may participate and be placed on a team’s roster.

During the regular season, each team normally has one "friendly" each week. Each season is ended with a BISAC-wide tournament hosted by one of the BISAC-member schools.

The emphasis of ISB's MS participation in BISAC is for the development our athletes as they improve and learn skills, sportsmanship, and team commitment to prepare for a more intense competition at the HS level.
