Our sports programs for the elementary, intermediate and high school pupils connect Thuwal and KAUST students through playing sports in both Thuwal and on KAUST’s campus. Sports activities are led by KAUST volunteers, and include football, basketball, and volleyball. In addition to promoting health and fitness, the activities are designed to enhance the “soft-skills” that are essential in real life – such as communication, teamwork, strategic thinking, discipline, and problem solving.
