Through regular exercise, students develop vital motor skills, coordination, and teamwork. Participating in team sports also builds valuable social connections, enhances self-confidence, and encourages resilience. Learning to handle both victory and defeat gracefully, students grow into compassionate, determined individuals. Our campus features a 7v7 soccer field, basketball courts, and a gym to support these activities.<\/p>\n<h5>PreSchool Program<\/h5>\n<p>In PreSchool, physical activity focuses on developing psychomotor skills. <strong>K1 <\/strong>and <strong>K2 <\/strong>students engage in psychomotricity two hours per week, while <strong>K3 <\/strong>students enjoy three hours each week, with a portion of that time dedicated to soccer.<\/p>\n<h5>Lower School Program<\/h5>\n<p>Lower School students have three hours of Physical Education per week over two days. One day, students can do either soccer or a multisport program that rotates monthly. This introduces them to volleyball, badminton, handball, hockey, track and field, ultimate frisbee, tag rugby, aerobics, health &amp; fitness, and baseball\/kickball. Students opting for soccer become part of the <strong>Bears <\/strong>team, competing in the Pozuelo Municipal League on Saturdays. On the other day, students may participate in one of these sports electives: soccer, basketball, tennis, or judo, all held in the school\u2019s sports facilities.<\/p>\n<h5>Middle School Program<\/h5>\n<p>Middle School students have four hours of Physical Education (PE) weekly, divided across two days. For PE, they have the option between soccer\u2014where they can join the <strong>Bears <\/strong>team and play in the Pozuelo Municipal League\u2014or a multisport program. In addition, we offer sports electives such as tennis, paddle, soccer, basketball, and volleyball. These are held at the nearby <strong>Angel Nieto Sports Center<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h5>High School Program<\/h5>\n<p>In High School, physical education is optional, allowing students to join school teams in soccer, volleyball, or basketball. These teams practice twice a week at the<strong> Polideportivo Angel Nieto <\/strong>and compete on Saturdays. While soccer and volleyball teams compete in the Pozuelo Municipal League, basketball teams participate in the <strong>Madrid Federated League<\/strong> through our partnership with <strong>Baloncesto Torrelodones (BT)<\/strong>. High School students can also take tennis and paddle lessons bi-weekly.<\/p>\n<h5>Extracurricular Activities<\/h5>\n<p>For Lower and Middle School students, AAS offers various extracurricular options, including soccer, ballet, roller skating, and volleyball. Girls from<strong> Grades 5<\/strong> through <strong>8 <\/strong>who choose volleyball as an extracurricular activity also join the <strong>Bears <\/strong>team to compete in the Pozuelo Municipal League on Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aquinas-american-school.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Volleyball.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Volleyball&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aquinas-american-school.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/futbol.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;F\u00fatbol&#8221; title_text=&#8221;futbol&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aquinas-american-school.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tenis.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Tennis&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aquinas-american-school.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Basketball.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Basketball&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aquinas-american-school.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Copia-de-soccer-4.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;soccer-4&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aquinas-american-school.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Tenis-2.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Tenis-2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports Programs<nav aria-label=\"breadcrumbs\" class=\"rank-math-breadcrumb\"><p><span class=\"last\">American School in Madrid<\/span><\/p><\/nav>At AAS, sports and physical education are essential pillars in fostering students&#8217; physical and mental well-being.
