| Celebrating Our Elementary School Volleyball Debut! |
What an incredible start to the ES Volleyball season! Our Elementary Chinthes played their very first two matches against the YIS Volleyball team, and the court was filled with energy, sportsmanship, and teamwork.
All 13 student-athletes from Grades 3 through 5 hit the court, taking full advantage of the opportunity to practice their volleyball skills, communication, and game awareness in a real match setting. More than just great volleyball, our players demonstrated true Chinthe Spirit by cheering each other on, sharing pre-game friendship circles, and shaking hands with their opponents.
Congratulations to all our players for their hard work and dedication. It was a positive and memorable milestone for our Elementary Athletics program!

What You Can Do: Book gym court space for full-court basketball pickup games, volleyball serving and setting drills, indoor badminton, or quick-footwork ladder and agility sessions.
