Soccer - Jakarta Intercultural School

Overview

JIS Academy Soccer offers five types of soccer programming options:

Junior Dragons Soccer is intended for our Early Years soccer players. Classes are offered on Saturdays. The emphasis is on fundamental movement skills, basic rules of the game and fun!

Dragons Soccer Skills is offered to children in Kindergarten to Grade 5 after school Monday to Friday. There is also an emphasis on fundamental movement skills, the basic rules of the game but we add in fun, sport specific technical training skills. Soccer Skills is perfect for the recreational player who is not quite ready to commit to multiple practices during the week and games on weekends.

Dragons Soccer is intended for children who want to play on a soccer team, practice soccer on a regular basis and play games on the weekends. Children in Dragons Soccer play in the Jakarta Schools Competition League against children in different schools. Children are assessed a the start of the season and and placed in teams according to their skill level so that they can play against players from other schools with similar playing skills.

Dragons Elite Soccer is is designed to provide top-tier training and development for young Middle School and High School athletes who show exceptional talent and dedication to the sport. The program emphasizes advanced technical skills, tactical understanding, physical conditioning, and mental fortitude through a rigorous and structured curriculum. Participants benefit from experienced coaching, competitive play, and opportunities to showcase their abilities at regional, national and international levels, fostering their growth into well-rounded, high-performing soccer players. Additionally, the program prioritizes character development, instilling values such as teamwork, leadership, resilience, and sportsmanship to help athletes succeed both on and off the field.

Assessments for the Dragons Soccer teams (U8, U10, U12, U14 and U16 - U19) took place earlier in the year. There were no assessments for the girls teams.

A separate Dragons Elite Soccer ( U13 & U15) tryout details will be shared soon. Non JIS students were also welcome to try out for the Dragons Elite Soccer team.

Students that would like to join the Elite program but missed tryouts can still join our program but must be assessed before being placed on the team.

Dragons Soccer Camps are held at various times throughout the year by either our JIS Academy soccer coaches or with a special guest from overseas.

Dragon Soccer Skills

Dragon Soccer Skills is open to boys and girls in Kindergarten to Grade 5. This recreational program is offered after school hours as part of our after-school activity (ASA) program. Soccer Skills builds individual soccer skills such as:

Ball Mastery – Being able to manipulate and control the ball.
First Touch – Being in control of the ball as soon as the ball arrives.
Turning – The ability to turn the body quickly with or without the ball.
Dribbling – Using both feet to move the ball closely with your feet in different directions and speeds.
Striking & Passing – Using different parts of the foot to strike the ball accurately and with the correct amount of power.

Our EY1 and EY2 version of Soccer Skills is called “Junior Soccer Dragons”. This program takes place on Saturdays at the Cilandak campus.

As the program is recreational there are no games played on weekends.

Dragons Soccer (Coed)

Dragons Soccer is our team based soccer program. Children attend an assessment day at the start of the year. They are placed in teams and then play in the the Jakarta Schools Competition League (JSCL) against players of a similar level.

The Jakarta School Competition League (JSCL) is a competitive league for both boys and girls, featuring approximately 120 teams from various schools across the Jakarta area.

The league runs from September to December, followed by the Cup in April–May 2026, which uses a knockout format—meaning a team is eliminated once they lose a match.

The season concludes with a Gala Festival on the final day, where trophies and medals are awarded to the champions and runners-up of each division. For more information click here.

Assessments for the following teams will take place this year:

U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, and U19 Dragons Coed Soccer

Girls Open U12 - U14, Girls Open U16 - U19

Apologies- NON JIS students cannot play on Dragons Soccer Teams as its a school league and all students must attend JIS.

Dragons Soccer (Girls)

Girls who would prefer to play with other girls are invited to play in the Girls Section of our Dragons Soccer section. This section is open to all girls from JIS or outside the community. As we are still in the process of generating interest in the sport, the Girls Section will operate differently than the coed Dragons Soccer team.

In the Girls Section, elementary girls will practice once a week and play matches against each other on Sundays or the occasional Saturday depending on when opposition is available. Middle and High School girls will practice twice a week and play games on weekends in the JSCL. Middle and High School girls will generally play games on Saturday afternoons or when opposition is available.
