Panthers Team Trials
We know how competitive it is for students to earn a place representing the school as part of any TBS Panthers team. We look for high levels of talent, commitment and tenacity so that our school teams work hard, aim to win, learn from losses and maintain a strong collective team spirit.
Expanded Panthers Programme
As we strive for excellence within our Panthers teams and continue to open access to competitive sports to more students, we are excited to share that this coming year we will be expanding our provision by introducing a new fifth age group.
This will provide approximately an additional 100 students with access to competitive school sport. This decision has been made to provide as many students as possible with more first-team matches and competitive opportunities.
Age Groups
Students should select their year group according to the academic year 2026–27.
Selection Policy
Students are welcome to try out for any number of school teams. However, to support physical and mental wellbeing, final selection is limited to a maximum of three sports.

The final team selections for the 2026–27 academic year will be completed by the PE Department. This decision will be based on a comprehensive review of each participant’s performance data, sport-specific skill assessments and fitness evaluation results.
In addition, students and parents are expected to uphold the Panthers Code of Conduct, which emphasises respect, commitment and sportsmanship on and off the field. Compliance with this code is a key consideration in maintaining a place on the team.
