hey have a big heart and never give up.

They started slow but they finished the basketball season strong!

Congratulations Dragon boys varsity team! AISSA Basketball tournament 3rd place.

O

ur first year as a Tennis team is off to a great start. The team has joined a couple of international school tournaments. In February the first AISAA Mixed Tennis Tournament was held at Berkeley. Our top players from middle years, Mammoth (Grade 10), Putter (Grade 6), and Jade (Grade 6), joined the tournament playing against much older competitors.

Putter advanced to the semi-finals playing against the top ranked players of Thailand.

A Tournament was also held in March at Spin and Slice Tennis Academy. Finn (Grade 3), Edward (Grade 5), Titan (Grade 5), Tonchok (Grade 5), Ty (Grade 5), Jade (Grade 6), and Putter (Grade 6) brought their best game in each of their matches. Jade won 3rd place after a tough and exciting tiebreaker game. Putter, who won all four of his matches, earned 1st place from his group.

All players showed great sportsmanship and enthusiasm through their last match of the day.

We look forward to our own new courts and more players next year.

hat an incredible season of growth and success for the Dragon Football Players! The UG3 Girls hit the field in October, full of energy and determination to develop their athletic skills and attitudes throughout every practice and game. These twelve girls across grades one, two, and three, loved coming to before and after school sessions. Each player committed themselves to becoming the best player that she could be by practicing... teamwork: cooperating with teammates and making choices that benefit the whole team resilence: both mentally and physically when facing football challenges enthusiasm: finding joy in the learning process and looking forward to the future of a football career.compassion: becoming more caring toward the community of football players in our area, and inquiring into how we might work together to make football more accessible to all kids.

What do they have to show for this amazing hard work and growth? League Chamions!

The Concordian Dragon Football team walked away from the AISAA UG3 Tournament with a First Place trophy and pride in their hearts. We cannot wait to see what next season brings this group of fierce athletes!

Well done! We are so proud of you!

Love, Coach Jen and Coach Heather

he Varsity Dragons were a defensive team this year and each of our opponents knew that they had played us when the final whistle blew. Next year we have upcoming underclasmen that will really help the team.

Good luck, ladies!

We tried enthusiastically during the tournament to be the Champions but were challenged by 4 Thailand nationalranking youth players from Mahidol. We almost overcame them in final total scores. We came in 2nd place by only 5 points.

Great FORM & Excellent SPORTSMANSHIP Looking forward to seeing you all next school year.

Most importantly, Dragons did their best and showed excellent sportsmanship.

Their efforts and tremendous team spirit were rewarded.

For G7-U, their performance in this tournament was amazing. Spectators were treated to a real demonstration of super table tennis rallying.

e had a talented team, but a tough year. We had a lot of raw and highly trained talent on the team this year. We had depth, skill and strength. We had plans, plays and procedures. We had an active and highly motivated parent fan and support base.

We were better trained and skilled then any of the other teams we played. Unfortunately, that skill and training did not translate into victory.

There is no question, we could have won the league and tournament. At the end of the day however, we didn’t. None the less, this is a great group of boys. There is no doubt in my mind that if they keep up the effort throughout their years at Concordian, they will be champions. The 3rd graders will be an excellent contribution to the G5 and under team next year. The 3rd graders will be missed by their younger friends. Good luck boys in G5 and under football.

his year was a rebuilding year for our Grade 10 and under team with only one returning player. Having said that, the strides in which improvement was made throughout the season was absolutely remarkable! We ended the season with our best game of the year beating The American School of Bangkok in three games! It is clear to see the love these gents have for the game by their dedication and pure excitement when they step onto the court! I have a good feeling about the volleyball years to come with this team! Congratulations to our 2017-2018 award winners: JV PIN: Nippon (G10), Ken (G10), Pat (G10), PaoPao (G9), Best (G9), Robin (G9), Sun (G8), Peak (G8), Tonkla (G8), and Zander (G8)
