INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE
It’s with great excitement and enthusiasm that we officially kick-off the new athletic season, season 23-24. As we reflect back on last year’s achievements and memories, I have no doubt that this season will also be filled with moments of triumph, moments of growth, and moments that will spotlight us again as a solid team.
This is the time in which you tryout to different types of disciplines according to your interests and under the supervision of our professional coaches in order to make it to the IC Cougars Teams.
As we (Athletics Office) stand for our essential mission to offering the best athletic experience that involves the total development of you as studentathletes, I can’t be more thrilled to embark on the upcoming athletic journey with each and every one of you.
Athletes, we can’t wait to see you back on the courts, pitches, swimming pools.. Remember that you hold the soul of the athletic program and your success is not measured by victories, but by what you can bring back to your team and IC with every moment you wear the White & Green colors. Your success is also measured by the memories and friendship you make.
Let’s put our caps and gear on, lace our shoes and step to our new season! Welcome to the new athletic season.
