MBIS - Home of the bulldogs
MBIS has a very proud athletic tradition
MBIS is widely recognized for their sportsmanship and good character on and off the sporting fields and courts.
Our Middle School (grades 6-8) and Varsity (grades 9-12) programs offer opportunities to play five sports over four seasons: Volleyball, Soccer, Basketball, (Boys) Baseball and (Girls) Softball.
As members of the Western Japan Athletics Association (WJAA), we compete in regional leagues and tournaments against other international and US base schools, as well as occasionally coming up against teams from as far away as Tokyo and Hokkaido.
MBIS also hosts an annual Invitational Futsal Tournament for students in grades 3-6, competing against other international schools in the region.
All students can “make the team”.
We believe that our athletic program is more than an opportunity to increase fitness and physical ability – students have frequent opportunities to develop skills that will serve them well throughout their lives.
Dedication to sports means a dedication to practice, risk-taking, hard work, self-discipline, teamwork, fair play, leadership, and so much more.
The MBIS athletic facilities include a full-size gym, well-stocked weight room, and a synthetic grass sports field.
Campus games and tournaments are organized by the very popular Marist Athletic Association (MAA), providing opportunities for students to work behind the scenes, as well as on the court.
