IASAS Boys Tennis at ISB – We need your help hosting!
Due to the ongoing activity of theTaal Volcano in the Philippines, IASAS Tennis has been moved from ISM. Singapore American School will now host the IASAS girls championship, and ISB have readily agreed to host the IASAS boys competition. We are very excited to welcome IASAS tennis back to campus, and with IASAS swimming already on our schedule, ISB will be absolutely rocking at the end of January.
Please help us by volunteering to host visiting tennis players during the IASAS weekend. We desperately need to find twenty host families to welcome these visiting student-athletes into their homes. ISB is renowned for the hospitality and gracious welcome we extend visitors, and our IASAS family is now depending on our community to step up due to this unexpected natural disaster.
IASAS BOYS TENNIS – SIGN UP TO HOST
The tennis schedule will be shared next week. Mark your calendars for January 30-February 1, 2020, at ISB. You won’t want to miss the gritty performances, the hard-hitting action, or the fun and excitement of IASAS Boys Tennis 2020! Go Panthers!
