Building Strength, Discipline, and Champions

At Charles Dale Memorial International School, excellence does not stop in the classroom. We believe that true education shapes the whole child, mind, body, and character. Sport is not treated as a side activity. It is a structured and respected pillar of our holistic development model.

Through organized training, competitive exposure, and disciplined coaching, our students grow in resilience, teamwork, and leadership. On the field, they learn courage. In competition, they learn composure. In victory and defeat, they learn character.

The Charles Dale Football Academy

In Partnership with Youth Arise Football Academy (YAFA)

Football remains one of the strongest pillars of our sporting programme.

The Charles Dale Football Academy runs in partnership with Youth Arise Football Academy (YAFA): a respected football development organization committed to grooming young talent with discipline and structure.

This partnership ensures that our students receive:

• Professional and structured football training

• Technical skill development

• Tactical awareness

• Physical conditioning

• Character and discipline formation

• Exposure to competitive opportunities

Training is not casual. It is organised and consistent.

Training Schedule

Football training takes place:

• Wednesdays immediately after club activities

• Saturdays

• Sundays

This structured schedule allows students to balance academics with athletic development while maintaining discipline and commitment.

Through this partnership with YAFA, students are trained under experienced coaches who understand youth development and competitive football standards. Talent is carefully identified and nurtured over time.

We are not just running a school team.
We are building a development pathway.

Competitive Participation

We believe competition builds confidence and maturity.

Our students participate in:

• Annual Inter-House Sports Competitions

• Inter-School Tournaments

• Regional sporting engagements

• Invitational matches and friendly competitions

Inter-House Sports at Charles Dale is a major event that fosters unity, healthy rivalry, and school spirit. Students learn to compete with honour and represent their houses with pride.

Through competitive exposure, our athletes develop composure, teamwork, and determination.

A Balanced Education

Strong academics.

Sport is not separate from our mission: it supports it. Through physical training, students develop habits that prepare them for leadership, responsibility, and excellence in life.

We do not just train athletes.
We build disciplined, confident young leaders.
