In addition to education and staff development, ACAMIS is also a major sports league in the region, hosting sports tournaments between schools, usually happening after International Schools Association of China (ISAC), and before Asia Pacific Activities Conference (APAC) events.

## Sports

The activity and sporting wing of the association is called the Association of China and Mongolia International Schools Sports League (or ACAMIS Sports League), and is one of the largest activities and athletics association in the region. All participating members of ACAMIS are automatically members of the sports league. The ACAMIS Sports League is designed to better meet the aims of ACAMIS through athletic activities by allowing students to experience and participate in cooperative and competitive sport, providing a safe environment, and allowing for students the opportunity to travel and meet new friends.
The three major sporting seasons are volleyball, basketball, and soccer. Other sports include badminton, swimming, table tennis, netball, golf, rugby, and track and field.
Sports are divided into gender groups and different divisions, with 6 participating schools per division. There are 8 different divisions in ACAMIS: red, yellow, green, orange, gold, blue, silver, and purple. Major sports rules are applied in ACAMIS tournaments; however, there are minor changes to ensure their goal to provide a safe environment for the students to play in. Tournaments are played in round-robin format, followed by elimination games for the most outstanding teams.
