[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]U13 FOBISIA Games – Celebrating our fantastic athletes!! (Part 1)<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A week has already passed since our Under 13\u2019s returned full of excitement and fond memories from a highly successful trip to Pattana Sports Resort competing at the U13 FOBISIA Games against 5 other schools from around Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this being the first FOBISIA games that these students had competed at, it was understandable that there were quite a few parents keen to see how the games run and so the squad had a large touring support crew traveling with us on the Sunday when setting off for Bangkok. A wonderful Vipers banner had also been created to showcase throughout the competition that was unfolded for the final team pic before departing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DAY 1 – Swimming & Athletics<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Excitement was high as the Vipers walked across from the hotel to breakfast. From the outset, I knew \u2018fueling up\u2019 was not going to be a problem for this group as all the students filled their plates with eggs, bacon, noodles, pancakes, fruit and more ready for a massive day of competitions starting with swimming.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Walking in as a team led by team captains Ian Zi and Mischa waving the Vipers flag whilst being welcomed by many of the competition staff and supporters was a wonderful experience for the team. It really accentuated the \u2018Olympic\u2019 feel and pride of representing KIS at the FOBISIA Friendly games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The team went over final preparations in the warm-up, checking starts and finishes and getting some of the competition nerves out of the system. With such limited time spent on training and preparing for swimming we knew this was going to be one of the harder events for KIS. However, every Viper played their role to perfection. We talked a lot before the trip that everyone would be challenged and pushed out of their comfort zones and this was evident so much in the first morning of competition. It was impressive to see students stand up and overcome any anxieties that they had and give every event their best effort!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
