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.

初中男子排球隊

Middle School Boys Volleyball

這支由10名球員組成的中學男子排球隊本賽季到目前為止已經取得了一些不錯的成績，一次次的比賽見證著他們的進步。該隊現已在放學后打了兩場比賽和一場友誼賽。他們目前總共輸了3場，贏了2場。

11月8日，中學男子排球隊對陣鼎石國際學校。這是球隊本賽季的第一場比賽，最終國際部以2比1獲勝。隨后，在11月20日的比賽中，國際部男子排球隊敗給了中芯學校。12月1日，國際部中學男子排球隊在世青國際學校進行友誼賽。友誼賽第一場是我隊對陣北京英國學校，國際部0比2惜敗。緊接著，國際部又要面對他們之前已經輸給過的對手中芯學校，最終比分為1比2。盡管國際部排球隊已經連續輸掉了兩場比賽，隊員們依舊保持著積極向上的態度和斯巴達精神，并盡最大的努力投入到最后一場友誼賽中。最終，他們的努力得到了回報，國際部以2:0的比分戰勝了北京世青國際學校。教練Dave說：“男孩們在最后一場比賽中表現出色，完全應該以2比0獲勝！” 北京世青國際學校是一支非常強大和技術嫻熟的球隊，所以我們的隊員們真得做到了勇敢地迎接挑戰，以高昂的姿態結束了比賽。

目前，男子排球隊在賽場上的表現是不錯的。其中，對陣鼎石國際學校和北京世青國際學校的勝利尤其令人難忘。隊員們經由刻苦訓練，進步得很快。教練Dave說：“在本賽季剩下的時間里，我們必須提高扣球的穩定性，我們期待在賽季末的比賽中至少贏得兩場比賽。”

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.

初中女子排球隊

Middle School GirlsVolleyball

在整個賽季，從第一次排球練習的失誤和笨拙的發球，到現在強有力的扣球和迅速地撲救，國際部中學排球隊的姑娘們在很短的時間內進步了很多。在教練的教導和影響下，排球運動員在定位球、扣球和發球等排球基礎練習方面成長迅速。在短短幾周內，隊員們就從笨拙的女孩變成了明星運動員。

第一場比賽時，隊員們對這項運動還不太熟悉。她們盡了最大的努力，雖然最終還是輸給了對方，但隊員們們一點也不氣餒。相反，帶著熱情與決心，她們養成了加量練習的好習慣。在12月1日的第二場比賽中，排球隊的表現比以往任何時候都要好。經過全隊的共同努力，隊員們獲得了友誼，提高了團隊合作能力。在比賽中，國際部女子排球隊憑借出色的防守和進攻策略，戰勝了實力雄厚的對手。

從賽季開始以來，女孩們的進步確實很大。在賽季初，女孩們幾乎不能準確地發球，也不能準確地扣球。現在，她們表現出了對排球的深刻理解。看到女孩們如此努力地打球，如此迅速地提升自己的技能，這很令人感到自豪。教練認為，全隊應該繼續努力，爭取在接發球方面做得更好，繼續享受運動給她們帶來的樂趣。

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.
