Regular PE keeps every child moving, and our volleyball and soccer teams give students a chance to train and play together.
Our teams
Huda Academy has two school teams. Classrooms at the school are mixed, and the teams are the one place boys and girls are separated.
Girls
Volleyball is the school’s girls’ team. It gives girls who enjoy sport a team of their own, with the teamwork, discipline and friendships that come from training together week after week.
Volleyball appears among the activities the school lists for middle and high school studentsNeeds fixing.
The school will confirm
Which grades can join the volleyball team, when it trains, and whether there is a cost or a kit to buy.
Boys
Soccer is the school’s boys’ team. For boys who love the game, it is a way to play with others who share both their faith and their enthusiasm, and to learn what it takes to play as a team.

PE for every child
Teams are for those who want them. PE is for everyone: it is one of the subjects every child takes, from Kindergarten upward.
PE sits in the school’s own list of subjects at every stage: in Kindergarten, in Grades 1 to 3, in Grade 4, and from Grade 5 onward, alongside English language arts, math, science, Arabic and Islamic studies. It is a class like any other, not an optional extra.
Lessons take place in the school’s gymnasium. Having an indoor space means PE goes ahead through Little Rock’s summer heat and winter rain, and children get regular exercise whatever the season.
Move • Play • Grow
The school’s previous website said students have PE twice a weekNeeds fixing. For many children, PE is where they first find a sport they enjoy; for others, it is simply time to run, stretch and play in the middle of a day of learning.
The school will confirm
How many PE lessons each stage has per week, what children should wear or bring on PE days, and whether infants, toddlers and PreK have their own movement or outdoor time.
Playing other schools
The school is working with other schools to arrange games against them. There is no set league, schedule or season yet, and this page will say so plainly until there is.
In our wordswe are working with other schools to try to get us to play against them
Both teams train and play together at school. The school is talking to other schools about arranging games, but nothing is fixed yet. Parents should not expect a published game schedule for now; if your child’s interest in a team depends on competing regularly, it is worth asking the school how far those arrangements have got.
When games are arranged, families of players will want to know the date, the place and how children get there and back.
The school will confirm
How the school will tell families about games once they are arranged, and whether parents will be asked to help with transport to away games.
The school will confirm
Whether basketball and archery, both listed on the school’s previous website, still run. They are not in the school’s current list of teams.
