School Sport SA districts, zones and regions

On this page

    There are 40 districts (22 country/outer metro and 18 metropolitan) and 13 zones (8 country and 5 metropolitan). There are also 6 regions (all country) which are a combination of districts and zones. A district, zone or region convenor provides sports programs for their schools. Some examples are:

    • interschool swimming carnival
    • interschool cross country carnival
    • interschool track and field carnival
    • trials for district based competitions
    • day carnivals
    • weekly sport
    • coaching clinics
    • special events.

    Country schools

    Schools that are located outside the metropolitan area don't pay nomination fees for the statewide schools competitions. If available, funds are allocated to country schools that play in finals in Adelaide to help with travel costs.
