Season 3 was an amazing time for our school sports teams, full of energy and big wins! We had a fantastic turnout this year, with so many students coming to tryouts and joining our teams. It was exciting to see new faces and returning players all ready to play and make our school proud. With all this talent, our teams worked hard and advanced to several playoffs during the season. Every game was a chance to show our skills and teamwork, and we loved cheering each other on. We’re so happy to share how everyone did in this report!

U14 Boys’ Badminton — Our U14 boys badminton team did a super job this year and got 6th place. We had a brand-new team because the older players moved up to the U20 team. Despite starting fresh, the new team quickly found their footing, showing remarkable growth in their game strategy, agility, and teamwork. Each match highlighted their determination and rapid improvement. For most of them, this was their first time playing in real matches, and they loved it. Big congrats to our U14 boys badminton team for playing so well—we’re excited to see them keep growing!

U14 Girls’ Badminton — The U14 girls badminton team had a great season this year, and we were lucky to have most of our players return from last year. These girls already knew each other well, so they started strong and worked hard together. During the regular season, they won several games, showing off their skills and teamwork. All that practice paid off because we made it to the playoffs again!

In the semifinals, we faced DC and played our best, but we lost 1-3 in a tough match. The girls didn’t give up, though—they came back ready to fight in the bronze medal match against AISHK. That game was super close, but we pulled through with a 3-2 win! Everyone cheered as we took home the bronze medal, and the team was so proud of what they achieved. With this experience, they’ve grown even better at smashing and serving. We’re excited to see them keep improving next year, and maybe they’ll aim for an even higher spot on the podium!

U20 Boys’ Badminton — The U20 boys badminton team had an awesome season this year! For the first time in three years, we made it to the playoffs, which was a huge success for us. We worked hard and played some tough matches to get there. In the semifinals, we faced WIS, but we didn’t play our best and couldn’t win that one. We learned from what went wrong and came back stronger.

In the bronze medal match against DC, we did great and won 4-1! This was our first medal in three years, and the team was so excited. Half of our players are graduating this year, so they were extra proud to finish with a win. Next year, we’ll need to find new players to join the team and keep up our good work. Everyone is excited to build on this success and aim for even more medals in the future!

U20 Girls’ Badminton — The U20 girls badminton team had a really good season this year and made it to the playoffs again! They worked hard all season, practicing a lot of doubles games to get better as a team. Sometimes, they even teamed up with the U14 girls for friendly matches, which was fun and helped everyone improve. In the playoff semifinals, they faced YCIS, but it was a tough match, and we lost 1-4. The girls didn’t let that stop them—they stayed strong and fought hard in the bronze medal match against DC. We lost both doubles matches, but the games were super close, and they showed a lot of effort.

In the end, we got 4th place, which is still something to be proud of! Most of our players came up from the U14 team, and some of our U20 girls aren’t graduating yet. That means we’ll have a strong group next year, and we’re sure they’ll aim to reach the finals. This season was a big success, and we’re excited for what’s coming next!

Junior & Senior Track & Field Team — This year, our track and field team grew stronger, and more AIS students joined in for the championship. We had a bigger junior group of runners who were excited to compete and show their skills. On March 26th, our junior team had an amazing day at the AIS championship and brought home several medals. For example, the U12 girls 4x100m relay team sped to 1st place, making us all so proud! The U14 girls also did great, winning a bronze medal in the high jump event with some awesome jumps. Everyone cheered loudly for their hard work and big smiles. We’re so happy to see our younger athletes shining this season!

On March 27th, it was time for the senior track and field championship, and our team kept the winning spirit going. Even though we didn’t have many seniors join this year, they still made us proud by earning a medal. The U20 boys took 3rd place in the high jump, showing off their strength and determination. Every athlete gave their best, and it was exciting to watch them compete.

Next year, we plan to get more senior runners to join the team so we can do even better. With more practice and new teammates, we’re determined to grow stronger and aim for more medals in the future. This year was a great start, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!

U20 Girls’ Football — This year, our U20 girls football team played a 7-a-side, and it brought some exciting changes! We had a few young players move up from the U14 team to help out, and they fit right in with the U20 squad. With this mix of new and older players, we won several games during the season and earned a spot in the playoffs. It was awesome to see everyone working together and having fun on the field.

In the semifinals, we faced SASHK and gave it our all, but we lost that match. We didn’t let that stop us—in the bronze medal game, we played YCIS and fought hard, scoring an amazing 6-1 win! That victory gave us 3rd place in the U20 football competition, our first medal in three years. The team was so proud and happy to celebrate together.

We hope more girls sign up to join the team next year because we want to grow even stronger. With more players and practice, we’re aiming to reach the finals next season and maybe even bring home a bigger prize!

U20 Boys’ Football — This year was a tough one for our U20 boys football team, but we still made it through with a lot of heart. Many of our senior players graduated last year, so we started with a brand-new team of fresh faces. It took time to get everyone working together because building team chemistry isn’t easy when you’re all new. We played lots of matches against strong opponents and learned something useful every time we stepped on the field.

During the season, we focused hard on teamwork and talking to each other during games. Our coaches helped us practice passing and planning better, which made us stronger week by week. Even though we didn’t make the playoffs this time, we worked really hard and had some fun moments too. We’re hoping all this effort pays off next season so we can get back to the playoffs like we did last year. With more practice and a tighter team, we’re ready to come back even better!

We want to give a big thank you to all our amazing coaches who worked so hard this season. You gave your time and energy to help our students get better at their favorite sports, and it really made a difference. Your support, patience, and great teaching showed our players how to improve their skills and believe in themselves. Because of your dedication, our students grew stronger, won medals, and had so much fun along the way. We’re so grateful for everything you’ve done for our AIS teams—you’re a huge part of our success. Thank you for being the best coaches we could ask for!
