School Teams
Every Saturday morning Glyn School fields many sports teams. The range of sporting activities in which you can participate is truly impressive. In recent terms we have sent our students to represent the school in track and field events, cricket, golf, rugby, badminton, basketball, swimming and of course, in football.
Many year groups have more than one team out representing the school on a Saturday, so you have a great chance to play for the school. Further information regarding football and rugby trials, new sports clubs and opportunities that are available to students will be given to students, Parents and Carers via our weekly school newsletter.
All sporting teams have regular practices after school and a tiemtable for this will be shared in September.
