SSIS has been an active member with CISSA since 2008. All students from Primary 3 to Secondary 2 are involved in the sports play in CISSA.
CISSA (China International Schools Sports Assoc.) is a multi-inclusive sports organization that emphasizes involvement for all international schools and fosters individual and team excellence in a co-operative, friendly and enjoyable environment between all participating students.”
It is a 'total participation' sports partnership based in Shanghai, China. Set up in 2000 by SAS - Shanghai American School - Pudong as a way to involve students from Grades 3 - 8 in team sports. The organisation has grown and can now boast 20 member schools from Shanghai and it's neighbouring cities. For the purposes of CISSA, Shanghai is split into 2 divisions, East and West. Schools play weekday games against other schools in their 'divison' and then both zones come together on day-long Saturday events. Each coach then selects a player to represent their division in an East Vs West representative game.
CISSA has several seasons throughout the year, each lasts around 6 weeks and is focused on a different sport. Schools in the association host 'friendly' matches on weekday evenings and there are several tournaments held on Saturdays during each season.
