Third season sport badminton officially started on Feb. 23 in the beginning of the second semester. The badminton team is formed by 8 girls and 8 guys, chaperoned by Ms. Wang and led by team captain Roger Wei. Students who joined Badminton have been practicing every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to prepare for the upcoming Tri Cities held in SASPD on March 4th, as well as APAC, which will take place in ISB on April 13th. The final roster and cuts haven’t been made yet, but the roster for Tri Cities is as follows:

Before the Tri Cities tournament starts, I’ve asked some of the Tri Cities badminton team players what they thing of the team so far; one of the Doubles player Agnes replied, “I think our team is still kind of weak, but it might get better.” On the contrary, Coach Huo; the coach who trains the team outside of school wasn’t as optimistic compared to Agnes. He said “To be honest, AISG needs more work, we can’t beat any schools like this.” (Translated from Chinese)
AISG was one of the weaker teams in the past during APAC, but this year we’re ready to fight for a higher ranking in all of our tournaments against other schools.
