Sports

De La Salle College has a fine reputation for its sporting achievements at county, regional and national level and the school takes great pride in offering a broad range of sporting opportunities for all pupils, irrespective of their abilities. The most important aim of our sports programme is to cover the needs of all the boys, giving the opportunity to unlock potential and maximise performance.

We enjoy considerable success in many team sports including cricket, rugby and football, and many of our students excel in a variety of disciplines including swimming, athletics, martial arts and a wide variety of racket sports. Our extra-curricular programme includes opportunities to use the fitness suite, trampolines, gym mats and table tennis tables, amongst many other activities on offer.

De La Salle provides time, outstanding facilities and equipment, expert coaching and a highly competitive internal and external annual fixture programme, including our overseas sporting tours.

We believe we are created by God and through our different talents we enrich our community. Sport ensures we respect and develop the complex body we have been given by God. Sport also teaches us to understand the nature of community. Team sports are encouraged because the boys learn to be mutually supportive.
