School Sport
Brighton Secondary School offers an extensive range of extracurricular sporting activities throughout the year. Involvement in any sporting opportunity is the personal preference of the student, but we offer both competitive and social sport opportunities.
Zone Sport
Brighton Secondary School participates in the Southern Zone Competition through School Sports SA. Zone Sport promotes participation, so no trial is required. Zone Sport is a great opportunity for students wanting to try a new sport, improve their skills, or play with friends.

Time: 3:30pm – 4:30pm
Location: Home and away basis with other schools in the Southern Zone

Although there are a wide range of sports offered, two conditions need to be met before a team can be entered:
- Sufficient players
- A coach or supervisor
Sports offered include: Volleyball, Tennis, Basketball, Soccer, Girls Soccer, Badminton, Netball, Football, Girls Football, Table Tennis, and Indoor Soccer.
Most of the sports offer three age groupings: Year 7/8, 9/10, and Year 11/12.
Statewide (Knockout) Sport
Knockout sport is a competition that is organised through School Sport SA. As the name implies, teams will be ‘knocked out’ of the draw after a loss. This process continues until a play off in a grand final.
Many of the sports are offered at three age levels: Year 7/8, Year 9/10 and Year 11/12. These sports are generally played during school hours. Cost varies from $10-$30 per student.
Brighton Secondary School competes annually in the following sports: Cricket, Touch, Baseball, Tennis, Badminton, Football, Netball, Basketball, Soccer, Volleyball, Hockey, Indoor Soccer, and Girls Football.
