Interlyceales are the annual matches between the four oldest Dutch lycea on a general basis: the Amsterdam Lyceum from Amsterdam, the Baarnsch Lyceum from Baarn, the Kennemer Lyceum from Overveen and of course the Lorentz Casimir Lyceum from Eindhoven. These competitions have been held annually since 1938 and have been divided into two separate events since 1959: the Sport Interlyceale (S.I.) and the Artistic Interlyceale (A.I.).
The four lycea believe that sport and culture contribute to the overall development and have therefore set up the interlyceales, in which all schools compete for the coveted first place. Per interlyceal, about 400 students participate, and thus one of the biggest annual events.
Sport Interlyceale
The Sport Interlyceale is the sporting event of the year at our school. An event that is unique in the region and which only we as Eindhoven high school participate in. We explain exactly what the Sport Interlyceale means below.
During the Sport Interlyceale we compete with three other Lycea in the country. On the program are all kinds of different sports, from athletics to dodgeball. Of course there are also common sports on the program like football, hockey and volleyball. The event takes place every year at one of the participating schools. Once every four years we are the host and the other years we leave (usually very early) to Amsterdam, Baarn or Overveen. Once arrived, every team will fight for the honor of their school. There are about 800 participants and around you you really see nothing but sports, sports and sport.
An important part of the Sport Interlyceale is making friends. Over the years you will get to know the athletes of the other schools and make contacts that may last your life. Outside the games you will also eat with the opponent and you will definitely meet them on the dance floor of the closing party. The Sport Interlyceale is not just a sports day, but an event that will last you the rest of your life. With dot the best day of the year!
