King's College Bangkok Opens August Trials for Football, Basketball Teams
Trials across multiple age groups open the door for students at the international school to join teams ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
How we reported this
Trials for basketball and football teams at King's College International School Bangkok will begin on 17 August 2026, covering age groups from Year 3 through Year 13.
The timing matters because the school has already completed several matches earlier in the year, and these sessions will determine who fills roster spots for the months ahead. Families in Bangkok planning school sports commitments now have a clear window to prepare children for selection.
King's College International School Bangkok runs its own sports programme that competes against other international schools in the city, including NIST International School, International School Bangkok and Shrewsbury International School. The August dates fall just before the main academic term starts, giving coaches time to assess players for the new season.
Details of the August trials
On 17 August the school will hold basketball trials for U13 girls in Years 7-8 and U9 girls in Years 3-4, alongside football trials for U13 boys in Years 7-8 and U9 boys in Years 3-4. The following day, 18 August, brings basketball trials for U11 girls in Years 5-6 and for U15 and U18 girls in Years 9-13, plus football trials for U11 boys in Years 5-6 and U15 and U18 boys in Years 9-13. On 19 August basketball trials continue for U11 boys in Years 5-6. All sessions are listed on the school's dedicated sports calendar.
Recent match outcomes provide context
Earlier results show mixed outcomes for the teams. On 11 June the U11 girls football side lost to Bangkok Games at BPS. In May the U11 boys B team secured a win against NIST International School on 14 May, while the U11 girls A team lost to International School Bangkok on 13 May and the U9 boys B team drew with Shrewsbury International School Bangkok on 11 May. A basketball fixture for the Boys-U12A team against St Andrews International School was also scheduled in late April. These results offer a snapshot of form heading into the new selection process.
