Caracas International School Teams Compete in Three Regional High School Leagues
Colegio Internacional Caracas fields squads in volleyball, basketball and soccer through established eastern Venezuela networks that link multiple campuses for regular matches.
How we reported this
Caracas high school athletes at Colegio Internacional Caracas compete regularly in the Venezuelan Association of North American Schools league that brings together squads from the capital and other cities for scheduled games.
Regional competition matters now because the current academic calendar aligns with the main tournament windows listed for middle and high school programs, giving local students structured outlets beyond daily physical education classes.
The Colegio Internacional Caracas Bears squad travels to venues hosted by partner schools in Valencia, Maracaibo and Maturín as part of the VANAS circuit, while also hosting return fixtures on its own campus grounds.
League Structure and Schedules
High school varsity teams train on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after classes, while middle school junior varsity groups meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, according to details posted on the Colegio Internacional Puerto La Cruz athletics site. Students first learn rules and basic skills in physical education before moving into after-school sessions that emphasize game strategy and team play.
Local Caracas squads also enter the Eastern Venezuelan Activities Conference alongside schools in Anaco, El Tigre and Maturín, creating additional match opportunities without requiring long-distance travel for every contest. Games against nearby teams fill gaps between the larger association events.
Available Sports and Next Steps
Participants across grades can select from volleyball, basketball, soccer, indoor soccer, hockey, softball and kickball, with elementary teams beginning at a recreational level before advancing to the more competitive middle and high school divisions. The Colegio Internacional Puerto La Cruz athletics page notes that selection for varsity and junior varsity squads occurs within each school’s own program.
Families in Caracas seeking details on tryouts or facility access can reach out directly to their school’s athletic coordinator for current season information, as league calendars rotate annually among the participating campuses.
