After a week of Fall Break, Dalat students are jumping back into action, not only with academics but also with the yearly ACSC (Asian Christian Schools Conference) sports tournaments. Even on break, players and teams were still dedicated to their sport and were focused on final preparations and getting locked in for the week of games that were coming.
In this first season of sports, Dalat has three teams competing: the Varsity Boys Volleyball at the Korean school YISS, the Varsity Boys Soccer team at GIS in Chiang Mai, and the Varsity Girls Volleyball here on our campus.
In the midst of an intense week of competition, all the teams will come together for a day of service towards a local community in their city. It’s a great chance for athletes not only to serve but also to get to know students from other schools through working together.
“ACSC is a great opportunity for student-athletes to connect with people from other schools around Asia,” says Samuel Jung (12), a member of the boy's soccer team.
Students on campus are also excited that they get to watch an ACSC live as they root for the girls' volleyball team. Students also hope for live streams from other schools to watch their friends perform on the court and pitch in different countries.
Even though they are still on campus, our volleyball team gets to skip school for the week, much to the jealousy of their classmates. However, teachers are allowing students to take a break from class and make their way towards the gym to cheer on our team. Judging from last year when Dalat hosted an ACSC, many students, parents, teachers, and friends will show up to support our team as they go for gold. You can always count on the Dalat crowd to stomp their feet and make some noise. Maybe our mascot will even make an appearance…
Anyway, let’s get ready for an exciting week of sports, LET’S GO EAGLES!!!
