Are local sports classes and/or activities available for kids?

Yes, but I can't elaborate as I don't have personal experience. I know my colleagues' children were heavily involved in many different types of sports. - Apr 2017


Yes, plenty. The rugby club has rugby (obviously), football and cricket. - Sep 2016


Yes, all schools have them as well as the Navy Base. - Nov 2015


Yes! I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of options here. There are sports teams and classes at the schools; plus there are swimming, music, tennis, gymnastics, soccer, and many others classes outside of school for all ages. Prices are similar to the States – about $12-20/class. - Sep 2012


Many! There are so many private programs available that it can be difficult to limit yourself to just a few. They do cost a bit, however, so that may in itself limit the over-ambitious parent. - Apr 2010


Yes, Chaoss and My Gym for the younger sets. Dancing and martial arts are also offered. Rugby club has soccer and rugby. T-Ball and horseback riding are also here. - Jun 2009
