Sports Teams
NIST athletic teams compete in the Bangkok International Schools Athletic Conference (BISAC) and the Southeast Asian Schools Athletic Conference (SEASAC). NIST excels in basketball, volleyball, soccer and softball at the varsity level, frequently finishing first in local and international tournaments, both for girls and boys. NIST also has varsity teams for tennis, badminton, swimming, softball and rugby. NIST teams are called "The Falcons" after the school's sport mascot. They play in blue and silver/grey/white. Because of NIST's indoor gymnasium facilities and its outdoor swimming pool, NIST frequently hosts local and international volleyball, basketball, badminton and swimming competitions.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or teams:
“There be some sports are painful, and their labor
Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
Point to rich ends.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
