Phoenix Athletics Kicks off Season 1


David Ho   |   September 29, 2020

The first season for Phoenix Athletics is underway! Whilst it’s not the typical start to the school year we still have over 65 students who have signed up to take part in the sports programme for Season 1. The Phoenix Athletic program has been adapted to allow students to still have the opportunity to be part of a team sport and develop their skills, in a safe environment. 

Iron Sharpens Iron in High School Girls Volleyball 

Michelle L. a centerpiece in the 2019-20 girls volleyball and a recent graduate. Has put on her coaching hat and is sharing her knowledge and passion for the game. The girls’ team this year was looking forward to the competition, they retained a good core of players from the previous year. With a good number of Y11’s in the side, girls volleyball has a bright future at ISNS. 

Hitting the Ground Running with MS & HS Cross Country 

Cross country running is in its second year as a sport at ISNS. The team has been enthusiastically hitting the track as coach R. Mona puts them through a training session, leading from the front. Cross country running is a great way for students to get fit especially for upcoming seasons. The team trains on a Tuesday and Friday after school, all you need to join is a good pair of shoes and a positive attitude. 

Badminton is Booming! 

MS badminton goes from strength to strength, with over 30 students trying out for the squad. Coach J. Baglole had the tough choice of trying to pick a squad, which in the end was too hard! So two squads were chosen with one group practicing on Tuesday and the other group on Thursday. 

Get Fired up for the Phoenix Cup 

MS football has always had a healthy number of participants, eager to build on the phoenix legacy. With over 20 students coach J. Lanshe and coach H. Wu has put together 4 teams who will battle it out for the Phoenix Cup in a head to head round-robin competition. The teams all train together on a Monday after school and then go at it on Thursday playing 2 games each. After 2 weeks of competition, things are pretty close, as teams are still trying to gel and find some continuity.  

Team A=Fire Frogs 

Team B=Blazing Badgers 

Team C=Hyena Heat 

Team D=Spider Sparks 

Looking ahead 

HS volleyball teams still continue to practice and compete amongst ourselves on-site. Week 3, round 1 of the Phoenix Cup on Thursday sees the Fire Frogs v Blazing Badgers on field 1 and on field 2, Hyena Heat v Spider Sparks. A big thank you to C. Massey, J. Baglole, H. Wu, J. Lanshe and R.Mona for providing your expertise.
