Qingdao athletes grow through every season

Some teams spend a season counting games. Ours spent it earning them. From Elementary learners stepping onto a track for the first time to High School athletes holding their nerve in league finals, this season demanded effort, resilience and character. Our students showed up ready and left with moments worth remembering.

Last semester students got involved in:

Elementary

• QISN Track and Field
• Chinese and Foreign Youth Soccer Exchange
• Swimming team participation
  
  
  

Middle School

• LifePlus Middle School Soccer
• QISN U14 Soccer
  
  

High School

• LifePlus High School Volleyball
• QISN U19 Volleyball
• High School Basketball season ongoing
• High School Badminton
• Swimming team participation
  
  
  

LifePlus network events

• LifePlus Volleyball tournaments
• LifePlus Middle School Soccer
  
  
  

What students see here is not a schedule. It is choice. It is room to grow. It is the freedom to try, adjust, compete and discover where they belong on a team and beyond it.

Notable highlights:

• LifePlus Middle School Soccer boys finished 1st; girls earned 3rd place

• QISN U14 Soccer girls finished 1st; boys earned 3rd place and a sportsmanship award
  
  

• QISN U19 Volleyball boys finished 1st and became league champions; girls finished 4th

• LifePlus High School Volleyball girls earned 3rd place; boys finished 4th
  
  

• Multiple MVP awards across High School volleyball, including standout performances by Sarah Li, Sarah Fan, Antton Barnetche, William Wang, Txomin Barnetche and Leo Park

• High School Badminton earned a sportsmanship award and 3rd place in QISN playoffs

• Swimming team finished 2nd overall out of six schools with the smallest delegation and two record-breaking performances
  

• Elementary athletes earned multiple 1st place finishes in QISN Track and Field events
  
  The highlights matter. What matters more is the confidence that followed our athletes back into class the next morning.
