ASC member schools compete against one another in a variety of inter-school sporting competitions. In addition to ASC competitions, ASC member schools often participate in ACTSSSA competitions (including all schools in ACT), Northside/Southside competitions (including schools located in Northern or Southern Canberra), and other sport-specific competitions, for example ACT Junior Rugby Union and Rowing ACT (including clubs from the general public).
The sports contested in ASC competitions include athletics,[1] basketball, cricket,[2] cross country running, hockey, netball, rugby union,[3] and swimming.[4]
The sports contested in independent competitions, but which include ASC member schools include Australian rules football, dragon boat racing, hockey, rowing, rugby union, squash, soccer, tennis, and water polo.
