The name Presentation, Castleisland is synonymous with basketball. The school currently holds 27 All- Ireland titles the most recent of which was won in 2019. With this prestigious title came the invitation to attend the International Schools’ Sport Federation Basketball Championships in Zadar, Croatia, as Ireland’s representatives. This competition was to involve teams from fifteen countries around the world. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented this competition from taking place to date. Training for different teams takes place various times throughout the week during lunchtime or after school in St. Johns Hall.
There is a strong tradition of ladies football in the school and our school football teams compete at First year, Junior and Senior level. We have strong links with Castleisland Desmonds club and training takes place after school in the Desmonds pitch.
In 2019 Camogie was introduced under the stewardship of Kerry Development officer Laura Collins. Among the oldest and fastest field games in the world Camogie skills were developed and practiced during regular training sessions at Castleisland Desmonds pitch.
