For team sports, opportunities for student participation are available via Prep to Year 2 development programs, Years 3 to 12 Saturday morning interschool sport and our Basketball and Touch Football clubs. For our stronger athletes, additional opportunities exist to represent the College at tournaments run by the governing bodies of sports such as Basketball, Netball, Tennis, Touch Football and Volleyball, in which Sheldon College teams often produce remarkable results against far bigger schools.
World-class sporting facilities
The world-class sporting facilities at Sheldon College must be seen to be believed. They include a 400m synthetic athletics track; six top quality, LED floodlit hard tennis courts; an indoor stadium featuring multiple courts and an extensive fitness centre (gym); an 8-lane heated swimming pool with grandstand; a modern, enclosed, learn to swim pool; as well as immaculately maintained playing fields and additional outdoor and undercover courts.
Specialist Coaching
Year-round specialist professional coaching is widely available to our students via the Sheldon Academy of Sport (SAS), which covers the individual performance sports of Swimming, Tennis and Athletics (Cross Country and Track & Field). Such SAS programs incorporate clubs affiliated with Queensland Athletics, Swimming Queensland and Tennis Queensland, enabling our students to receive a high level of preparation for local, state, national and even international competition, combined with an exceptional education, right here at the College.
