The Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) has given secondary schools until November 15, 2026, to register eligible learners on its online portal ahead of the 2027 school sporting calendar.
The deadline falls at a time when schools have already closed for the December holiday, leaving school administrators, games teachers and coaches to ensure registration is completed while learners are away from school.
Principals and sports coordinators have been urged to use the holiday period to register current Form Three students and Grade 10 learners through the association's online platform.

The exercise covers team registration and the updating of individual player details, so that schools have accurate records of the learners expected to take part in various sporting disciplines next year.

Schools will have to coordinate the process during the break rather than wait for learners to return for the next academic year. Games teachers and coaches are expected to work closely with their principals to ensure that eligible players are captured and their details entered correctly in the system.

The digital registration is also aimed at strengthening the verification of players' eligibility and helping curb irregularities in school competitions.

Schools have been advised not to wait until the final day to submit their details, as delays could complicate preparations for the new sporting season. The November 15 deadline marks a key step in schools' preparations for the 2027 secondary school sports calendar.
