Joining a school sports team is a great way to make friends, enjoy school culture, and see other parts of BC. Here are the general seasons for school sports. Most high school sports team members are selected through a competitive tryout process.
Our teams work together to compete at the highest levels.
School Sports in Central Okanagan Public Schools
A variety of school sports are offered at each of our middle and high schools. Each sport season is indicated in the chart further down the page. Please contact our program at international.education@sd23.bc.ca for information about the sport team(s) typically offered in a particular school.
