Sports @ DIA
The Dubai International Academy, Physical and Health Educaton and Sports faculty is motivated by a passion for sport, value for lifelong learning, student happiness and wellbeing. We are committed to promoting professionalism, creativity, healthy lifestyles and genuine care in our student body.
We do pride ourselves on our teams' positions in the DASSA leagues. This ensures we provide the maximum number of opportunities for our children to compete across a range of sports in a safe and educational environment. Through hard work, commitment and dedication from staff and students we consistently present teams or individuals that compete in the top divisions and win our fair share of Championships across Dubai.

We are very aware that for many individuals, sport is not about competition but more about friendship, wellbeing and growth. With this in mind, we have developed our B squads and other sporting opportunities for students. This allows students to learn or develop their sport skills in a fun, safe and non-competitive environment. The uptake in these teams has been fantastic and we have grown this program to its biggest ever.
At DIA, we use sports as a method to help students develop a global perspective, expand their cultural horizons, and increase their exposure to diverse ideas and talents by creating opportunities to represent the school on a global platform. World Schools games and cricket tours are regularly attended by our school teams.
We also have our Sport’s Ambassadors that have been selected because they embody the ideals of the DIA Sporting vision. The students show leadership abilities and are role models that help others to get involved and lead more active, happier and healthier lives. They are encouraging and positive with a hunger to win, but more importantly to show examples of sportsmanship at all times.
Sports scholars and talented athletes support programme is designed to offer the essential support ambitious and committed sports students and to help them towards achieving their goals in their chosen sport. These students may be Sports Scholars, but the programme is open to all athletes that aspire towards high performance levels.
