All students at Dilworth are encouraged to participate in a wide range of sports. Involvement is an integral part of both day school and boarding house life with training and coaching part of the routine each week during the school year.
Physical activity develops health, fitness, interpersonal and leadership skills, perseverance and commitment. Sport facilitates the development of these skills along with positive attitudes, which serve our young men well throughout their lives.
Each campus offers a wide range of individual and team sports which allow every student to find an activity he enjoys. There are pathways for students from participation level, to high performance, with an emphasis on fostering positive experiences and excellence.
Our sports programme is led by the Director of Sport and supported by highly experienced staff, specialist coaches and enthusiastic managers. The Director of Rugby and Director of Basketball have full oversight of their respective sports across the school and play a key role in developing our rugby and basketball sporting talent. The Head of Strength and Conditioning works with our students to unlock their athletic potential through comprehensive strength and conditioning programmes, and ensuring our athletes are well-rounded in their development. We also have a Physiotherapist available onsite.
The sports on offer at the school include rugby, basketball, football, athletics, hockey, tennis, volleyball, touch rugby, wrestling, Olympic lifting, badminton, squash and table tennis. Supporting these activities are superb facilities.
