ur season is in full swing and the girls are pushing forward. The team is comprised of motivated young athletes with the drive to learn the game and build their skills. We started the season with try-outs in the first week of school and were fortunate to gain a strong team of 13 players. We have many ambitious, risktakers that are learning to play basketball for the first time. On the other hand, we have some seasoned players that are spreading their knowledge of the game to inspire their teammates to grow. The first games have been held at our home court here in the Concordian PYP Gym where the Dragon Spirit has come to life with so many cheering and encouraging peers watching as these young lady Dragons build their confidence on the court. Still to come this season we are preparing for a few more games as well as the much anticipated tournament at KIS. - Coach Dom and Coach Ashley

he boys varsity volleyball season started with much excitement by winning their first game. The team mostly consisted of new players learning the basics with a couple veteran players leading the way. A good example of a leader was the team captain, Robin. He stepped up by helping teammates stay focused during practice and taught them offensive and defensive techniques. Overall this team has shown a great amount of growth in such a short time. - Coach Leo
