The purpose of the VIS Competitive Sports Programme is to extend and supplement the regular curricular programmes of the school. Its aim is not only to promote excellence in sporting achievements, but also to cultivate the qualities of good sportsmanship. We focus specifically on school pride, respect, team work and above all, commitment.

The VIS Competitive Sports Programme gives students the opportunity to compete against both international and local schools. We are members of two sports associations. One, within the Danube Valley Athletic Conference (DVAC), which allows to compete with schools from Salzburg, to Prague to Budapest. As well as the wider reaching ISAA -International School Athletic Association, that includes schools from England, Europe  and northern Africa. Based on these associations, our programme is divided into three seasons and three age categories. Season 1 is the Fall, Season 2 is Winter and Season 3 is Spring. We have boys and girls for most sports. We have Middle school (MS) Grade 6 - Grade 8 and High School (HS) Grade 9 -  Grade 12.
