Home of ICS Knight Nation: ICS Elementary Athletics: Season 1 Team & Sport Club Review

This past weekend's games ended a very fun first season of play for our Elementary Sports department! This season we had girls and boys U11 basketball, a U9 soccer team, a 2nd-5th grade Cross Country team, a 1st & 2nd grade basketball club, and a K4-K5 Bowling Club! Let's take a closer looks at each of these team's and clubs!

K4 & K5 Bowling Club
For the second year in a row Ms. Heidi Garber led our bowling club! This club met every Monday with a focus of learning important skills such as rolling and accuracy! This year we had 10 students from our K4 & K5 classes join in on the weekly fun! To conclude the club Ms. Garber took our bowlers to the West Coast Bowling Alley!

1st & 2nd Grade Basketball Club

Each Saturday morning, Coach Bandy and Coach Kuang took turns teaching basketball skills to some very eager 1st and 2nd graders! During the 6 weeks of training our future ICS basketball stars worked on ball-handling, dribbling, passing, defense and shooting! Each week our kids were getting better and better! We are very much looking forward to seeing these 1st and 2nd graders represent our school someday competitively on the basketball courts!

Elementary Cross Country Team

For the second year in a row we had an Elementary Cross Country team made up of 2nd-5th graders! These student-athletes met every Tuesday for an hour to run and work on their conditioning! Ms. Judith Shang took on the task of coaching this team, and she did an awesome job! To conclude their season the team competed in the ACSIS Elementary Championship races at the Tampines Bike Park. It was an extremely hot day, and a very muddy and tough course! Each and everyone of our runners completed the course, and we are very, very proud of this team!

U9 Soccer

This year our U9 Soccer team was coach by Ms. Kara Foerger and Ms. Chelsie Slegers! Their practices were every Monday, and then they would put their skills into action every Tuesday in series of round-robin games! Their season concluded Saturday, Nov 8th with ICS playing 5 soccer games! It was a lot of fun to see all the improvement shown throughout the season, and we are looking forward to watching this group in U10 next year!

For the third year in a row our 4th and 5th graders competed in the U11 ACSIS basketball league! This league is designed for our young players to have competitive fun each week while at the same time work on developing their skills! Our girls team finished 4th place in division 1, and our boys team finished 12th overall!
