Bamako - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local sports classes and/or activities available for kids?
Yes, some, if kids speak French. If not, the American Club has become more active in developming programs. Presently there is a weekly swim lesson, tennis, and soccer, but these programs are not competitive, they are just recreational. - Jul 2011
Judo in different neighborhoods, soccer is everywhere, but these are outdoors with the kids from your neighborhood. Budo club has soccer and judo for kids as well as the American club and the American school. - Jul 2011
Maybe when affiliated with local international schools. I don't really know. - Oct 2010
Soccer is everywhere. The is tennis, volleyball and basketball at the american club. There's also racquetball somewhere in the city as well. - May 2010
AISB has some after-school activities and, even if your child does not attend AISB, they can take part. These are not cheap, however. The American Club also has activities during the school break. There's some talk of re-starting the Malian branch of Little League (seriously), but it's only talk at this point. - Sep 2009

The school offers some sports, and there is a tennis club in town, but if this is a priority for you then Bamako is not the place to come. - Jan 2009
