Nairobi - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local sports classes and/or activities available for kids?
It's most common to do sports at school, but you can find many sports in the local community. There is a kids' soccer team at Rosslyn Ridge. Kids take tennis lessons at the Ridge and I have heard of local swim, jiu jitsu, karate, badminton, rugby, gymnastics, baseball, and ice hockey classes/leagues for kids. It is inexpensive to have a tutor in whatever sport come to your house. Sports at ISK are well organized and there is opportunity for international competition during high school. Many of the practices in high school and some in middle school are quite early in the morning, before school starts. - Jan 2025
