Lancing has a proud footballing history. It is one of the oldest games played at the College,

and one with strong OL links. Lancing has a broad fixture list that includes playing all local

Girl’s football is increasing in popularity and is now a major sport taking place in the Summer Term where competitive fixtures take place. There are additional sessions throughout the Advent and Lent Term for girls, and the numbers for football are increasing each year.

The principal team sports are Advent Term - Football (boys), Hockey (girls); Lent Term
