Cross Country at Sacred Heart is held during the fall sports season. The girls who take part are self motivated, driven, and confident athletes that enjoy running and the benefits it offers. The girls train three to four days a week, running distances between 4 and 7K preparing for races that fall on Saturdays. The sport offers a chance for all athletes to compete not only against themselves but rival schools in the Kanto Plain. The top seven high school girls take part in the Asia Pacific Invitational Tournament. This is a fantastic event that allows our girls to race against more than 20 schools from several countries around the Pacific.

JV & Varsity tennis is an advanced program based on a modern tennis methodology allowing students to join a team representing their school and compete against other international schools in the Kanto (wider Tokyo) area. The program helps create well-rounded student athletes, develops responsibility and teaches sportsmanship. The tennis teams train and play on the school courts. We also travel to other locales farther afield for tournaments.

The Symbas Varsity Volleyball team was able to play in the Kanto Volleyball Tournament held at ASIJ. After the victory against YIS with the score of 25 to 15 on the first set and 25 to 11 on the second set, the team was able to compete against CAJ for the entry to third place. However, after an intense match, the Symbas volleyball team was not able to win against CAJ placing 5th in the tournament. A big congratulations to all the members in the team who gave their best effort every second on the court. 

The basketball season for the JV and Varsity teams start around mid-November until the end of February. Both teams compete against other International schools within the Kanto region as well as at a tournament which takes place towards the end of the season. Every year, the varsity team participate in the Far East Tournament where they compete for the championship. The JV team also compete in at least one JV tournament. Alongside learning the fundamentals and tactics of basketball, the players get to be in an environment where they can use life skills such as team work, communication and leadership skills. 

Netball is a team game, which means there are two aspects of becoming a successful player. First you have to learn the skills of the game - how to catch and throw, to shoot for goals, and to move in attack and defence. Then comes the real challenge: to use these skills effectively with other team members to produce a winning netball team. Netball is a winter sport at Sacred Heart and is very popular. We produce teams at all grade levels from 3rd grade through high school and each section practices once a week after school. We play fast and hard and have fun perfecting our skills.

Track and Field is a great opportunity to improve overall athleticism in our girls. Students participate in a wide variety of events both on the track and in the field. Track events such as sprinting, hurdles, long distance and relay are all about running while field events are broken into jumping events such as high jump, as well as throwing events such as shot put. It is one of few sports that really incorporates individual skills and success alongside the team success and camaraderie. Meets take place on Saturdays and are a great atmosphere of competition and fun.
