The new basketball season for high school girls started in early November. As an almost completely new team of players joining in across all grades, the girls are able to have gradual achievements throughout the season so far. In the first game against CISB on November 5th, both teams showed high spirits and skills as a new start and were all looking forward for next games with soaring energy and Spartan spirit. On November 2nd, the team had their second game against BIBA, and it was the first time for them to try a full court defense strategy. Due to that, according to the player Angel Song, the game “was very tiring for sure, but we [they] gained a lot of experiences. from it!”. After a few more practices, they had their third game against ISB on November 14th. This was the closest game that they’ve played since the beginning of the season. Even though they lost in the end, it was still a huge improvement since the team was missing multiple players due to school works. Carried on with the high hopes to win the next game, the 4th game on December 3rd was their first home game against Keystone. Without letting down all the audiences that came to watch, the girls won the game with no doubt with the score of 19 to 13. Like Chelsea Wang from 10th grade said as an audience: “The girls had high hopes and high energy with the amount of audience cheering them on. They also showed great efforts and skills with their shooting, passing and layups.” With this encouraging result and more hardworking at practices, the team remained undefeated at home after their second home game against BWYA on December 17th. “The girls are enhancing their abilities in not only shooting, but also passing and defensive skills that allowed them to reach the victory. It was amazing to see the girls work together and to show great sportsmanship during the game” said Chelsea. Their final tournament will be on January 12th, and after more practices and adjustments, we hope to see them to end their season with great results.

初中男子排球队

Middle School Boys Volleyball

这支由10名球员组成的中学男子排球队本赛季到目前为止已经取得了一些不错的成绩，一次次的比赛见证着他们的进步。该队现已在放学后打了两场比赛和一场友谊赛。他们目前总共输了3场，赢了2场。

11月8日，中学男子排球队对阵鼎石国际学校。这是球队本赛季的第一场比赛，最终国际部以2比1获胜。随后，在11月20日的比赛中，国际部男子排球队败给了中芯学校。12月1日，国际部中学男子排球队在世青国际学校进行友谊赛。友谊赛第一场是我队对阵北京英国学校，国际部0比2惜败。紧接着，国际部又要面对他们之前已经输给过的对手中芯学校，最终比分为1比2。尽管国际部排球队已经连续输掉了两场比赛，队员们依旧保持着积极向上的态度和斯巴达精神，并尽最大的努力投入到最后一场友谊赛中。最终，他们的努力得到了回报，国际部以2:0的比分战胜了北京世青国际学校。教练Dave说：“男孩们在最后一场比赛中表现出色，完全应该以2比0获胜！” 北京世青国际学校是一支非常强大和技术娴熟的球队，所以我们的队员们真得做到了勇敢地迎接挑战，以高昂的姿态结束了比赛。

目前，男子排球队在赛场上的表现是不错的。其中，对阵鼎石国际学校和北京世青国际学校的胜利尤其令人难忘。队员们经由刻苦训练，进步得很快。教练Dave说：“在本赛季剩下的时间里，我们必须提高扣球的稳定性，我们期待在赛季末的比赛中至少赢得两场比赛。”

The middle school boys volleyball team representing THIS with a team of 10 players has gone so far this season with some memorable moments. The team has now played 2 matches after school and one friendly tournament. They currently have a record of 3 losses and 2 wins in total.

On November the 8th the Middle School Boys Volleyball team played against Keystone. The game against Keystone on November the 8th was the team’s first game of the season, also first home game, and they won it 2 sets to 1. On November the 20th the Middle School Boys Volleyball team played against SMIC and lost the game. On December the 1st the Middle School Boys Volleyball team played their first friendly tournament at BWYA. The tournament started for the team by playing against BSB, lost to them 0 – 2. After losing their first game in the tournament, they immediately faced the team that they’ve already lost to before, SMIC. The boys lost to them 1-2. Even though the team has already lost two games in a row, but that did not beat them down. They kept a positive attitude and lots of Spartan spirit and tried their best to win their last game of the friendly tournament. And their hard work paid off, they won BWYA with a 2-0. Coach Dave said: “The boys played magnificently in their last game and fully deserved the 2-0 win! BWYA was a very strong and skillful team so our boys really rose to the challenge to end the tournament on a great high note.”

For now, the team has done pretty well. The victories against Keystone and BWYA were especially memorable. The boys are progressing well and they are now applying their three hits more consistently. Another big improvement is how the team can now receive even the most powerful serves from the opponents. According to Coach Dave: “For the rest of the season we must improve the consistency of our spiking, and we are looking forward to winning at least 2 games at our end-of-season tournament.

初中女子排球队

Middle School GirlsVolleyball

在整个赛季，从第一次排球练习的失误和笨拙的发球，到现在强有力的扣球和迅速地扑救，国际部中学排球队的姑娘们在很短的时间内进步了很多。在教练的教导和影响下，排球运动员在定位球、扣球和发球等排球基础练习方面成长迅速。在短短几周内，队员们就从笨拙的女孩变成了明星运动员。

第一场比赛时，队员们对这项运动还不太熟悉。她们尽了最大的努力，虽然最终还是输给了对方，但队员们们一点也不气馁。相反，带着热情与决心，她们养成了加量练习的好习惯。在12月1日的第二场比赛中，排球队的表现比以往任何时候都要好。经过全队的共同努力，队员们获得了友谊，提高了团队合作能力。在比赛中，国际部女子排球队凭借出色的防守和进攻策略，战胜了实力雄厚的对手。

从赛季开始以来，女孩们的进步确实很大。在赛季初，女孩们几乎不能准确地发球，也不能准确地扣球。现在，她们表现出了对排球的深刻理解。看到女孩们如此努力地打球，如此迅速地提升自己的技能，这很令人感到自豪。教练认为，全队应该继续努力，争取在接发球方面做得更好，继续享受运动给她们带来的乐趣。

All throughout the season, form the first volleyball practice’s awkward misses and clumsy serves, to the strong spikes and fluent saves, the girls of the THIS middle school volleyball team have improved a great deal in a short time. In merely a few short weeks, the players have morphed from clumsy little chicks to star athletes.

Under the coach’s teaching and influence, the volleyball players have quickly developed their fundamental skills in bumping, setting, spiking and serving. They had already gotten the gist of volleyball a long time ago near the beginning of the season, and since then, the girls have been playing strongly with a clear pattern. Throughout their practice sessions, the girls demonstrated great understanding of the pass, set and hit routine.

In the first game, the girls, still new to the sport, played as hard as they could. In all three of the game sets, the scores were very close and exciting. But unfortunately, the girls still lost to the opposing team. Though the loss was certainly not worth celebration, the girls were by no means dispirited. On the contrary, through their passion, practice, and determination, the girls developed a great habit of practicing extra time outside of practices. On the second game day on the 1st of December, the girls definitely performed a lot better than they ever had. Ruled by their passion to volleyball, the girls played hard against the opposing teams in the tournament, resulting in close scores yet again. After much hard work, the team players gained friendship and built up their teamwork abilities. In the tournament, the girls’ volleyball team triumphantly beat the strong, solid opposing teams, with their terrific defence and offence strategies.

The girls had definitely improved greatly since the beginning of the season. At the beginning of the season, the girls were hardly able to serve accurately, or spike accurately. Now, they are able to demonstrate great understanding of volleyball. It’s fun and definitely satisfying to see the girls play so hard, and develop their skills so quickly. Their next goal, according to the coach, is to continue to work and be able to do better on serve receives, and to continue to have fun and play more games.
