Sport
At Aloha College Marbella, sport is more than just physical activity. It is a key part of our students' all-round development. Our sports provision encourages every student to embrace healthy competition, strive for personal improvement and develop lifelong habits of fitness, teamwork and resilience.
Our Physical Education department offers a balanced and engaging curriculum across all age groups. From Foundation Stage to Sixth Form, students are introduced to a wide variety of physical disciplines, with 12 core activities designed to promote participation, enjoyment and achievement.
We are proud of our continued sporting success across the Costa del Sol. Aloha College Marbella has been Athletics and Cross Country champion for four consecutive years, while also achieving significant victories in Basketball, Football and Volleyball. While we celebrate these accomplishments, our true focus is on creating inclusive opportunities for all students to get involved, build confidence and reach their potential.
Aloha College Football Club (ACFC)
Over 100 students from across age groups take part in weekly training and local league matches, under the guidance of Head Coach Alejandro Ávila.
Our football programme is a leading force in the region. The school’s football pitch, widely regarded as the best in Marbella for youth sport, offers an outstanding setting, with spectator stands and panoramic views of La Concha.
ACFC has nurtured notable talent over the years, with alumni like Dean Huijsen, Bernardo Espinosa and Sofia Elgaily demonstrating the power of grassroots.
Aloha College Basketball Club (ACBC)
ACBC continues to grow in popularity, with around 60 students participating in weekly training and competitive matches. The club is led by Rubén Wolkowyski, former Argentina national player and NBA veteran with the Seattle Supersonics and Boston Celtics.
With teams across multiple age groups, ACBC has become a local benchmark in youth basketball. Training takes place in our state-of-the-art 2,000m² multi-sports hall, offering professional-standard facilities that rival any in the region.
Beyond skill development, ACBC emphasises teamwork, sportsmanship and communication, essential qualities that extend far beyond the court.
Athletics & Cross Country
Athletics plays a vital role in fostering self-discipline, goal-setting and perseverance. Students engage in a wide range of track and field events that not only promote physical fitness, but also help develop focus and resilience, all within a supportive and competitive setting.
Our Cross Country team continues to perform with excellence, representing the school at inter-school competitions across the Costa del Sol. Students embrace the challenge of varied terrain, building stamina and determination while forming friendships through sport.
Cricket
Cricket is a growing area of enthusiasm among both students and staff. As part of our enrichment programme, students have taken part in the "Cricket’s Cool" initiative, held alongside the European Championships in Cártama.
During these events, students received coaching from professional players, watched live matches and even appeared on national television, an unforgettable experience that brought the sport to life and showcased the opportunities that sport can offer beyond the pitch.
At Aloha College Marbella, our sports programme complements academic life, building character, confidence and a strong sense of community. Whether it is through team sports, competitive leagues or individual pursuits, we encourage every student to discover their strengths, support their peers and be their best, in every sense.
