Athletics


CIPLC boasts a comprehensive, competitive sports program, for all grades 4-12 (grade 3 and below is participatory and recreation-based). Students become versed in the rules, strategies, skills, and sportsmanship of the games in their Physical Education courses, and then transfer this to the after-school sports program where more intense practice and competition take place.

In addition to our excellent Physical Education program, students may begin playing after-school sports in Elementary school, then continue on through Middle and High School. The elementary, JV and Varsity teams participate in EVAC, a league of local area international schools. The middle school and varsity athletes are selected to participate in JVANAS and VANAS, an association of larger Venezuelan international schools. Games against local teams are also scheduled regularly for teams at all grade levels.

Students in most grades can choose from the following sports at CIPLC:

  • Volleyball
  • Basketball
  • Soccer
  • Indoor Soccer (Fútbol Sala)
  • Hockey (in-line or floor)
  • Softball
  • Kickball
