The school has partnered with AIS Athletics, the UAE’s leading provider of track and field athletics for young athletes of all ages and abilities. The partnership allows SISD to utilise coaching team at AIS Athletics, which includes current and former Olympians and international athletes, World Championship and European Championship medallists and qualified/accredited coaches in a range of different events, all based out of the UAE.
