oncordian International School Athletics and our conference, AISAA, continue to follow the recommendations from the government and abide by ISAT and MOE regulations. Government guidelines and Concordian’s new Health and Safety requirements are followed at all times: safety is our top priority. We have an improved maintenance plan for all gyms, courts, playing surfaces, fields, and restrooms. The second priority is to get our students back to participation safely and as soon as allowed by law.

Co-curricular activities for growth and development and supporting academic learning MUST happen. Dragons Athletics’ goal for each division in each sport is to have an AISAA Tournament later in this year. “Low risk sports” as identified by the government will be scheduled first. Varsity sports are scheduled to finish earlier than other grade divisions so that high school student athletes can focus on exams and college applications. For safety reasons, this school year, league play will be eliminated.
Coaches have been busy, carefully planning training units that incorporate healthy lifestyles into the regular practice plan, including fitness, conditioning, mindfulness, and proper nutrition. All teams are practicing year-round so every afternoon the facilities are packed with our students who are happy to be back at school and participating in sports. For some grade levels, our Coaches offer one day for anyone to play and one day for the players who show promise at making the AISAA Tournament team (maximum 12 players). The result is a record number of participants. Go Dragons!
