Our two schools have a rich tradition of successful participation in a wide variety of middle school and high school sports at the varsity, junior varsity and club levels. The Sabers teams benefit enormously from the Two Schools model, comprising of student-athletes from both OIS and SIS. Our association with international schools across Asia and domestic schools in Japan create many opportunities for both overseas and domestic competition.

WJAA HS Girls' Volleyball

明日は誰が来られて、誰が来られないのだろう。じわじわと広がるインフルエンザを心配しながらも迎えたシーズンを締めくくるトーナメント。中止とならなかったことに心から感謝する。

決勝の相手は、初戦で苦労したSt. Maur。粘り強いディフェンス、強気のエースがいるチーム。どうか、自分たちのベストが出せますように。２セット先取し、迎えた３セット目。最後のポイントは、サミのブロックで決した。ずっと練習してきたコンビも何本も出た。初めて試合でコンビを使おうとしてから５年。シーズン制の限られた練習の中でも、高みを目指して進化することはできる。地味で地道な基礎的な練習を繰り返し行うことをいとわなければ…。今シーズンもそれをやり遂げた選手の皆さん、おめでとう。

体育館まで応援に来てくださった皆さん、ありがとう。トーナメントを、ゲームを支えてくれたみなさんありがとう。　

Coach Hirai
