Wednesday October 5th – Sunday October 9th
Dear Parents and Student-Athletes,
The 2022/2023 IASAS Volleyball Tournament and IASAS Cross Country Championships are fast approaching. Our entire community is gearing up for a spirited and competitive event, the first one in Three Years! ISB will host the five IASAS visiting schools, 180 athletes, from October 5th – 9th, 2022. These season-ending events provide an exceptional opportunity to showcase our teams, our students, and our immense ISB hospitality! We aim to put on an unforgettable event, but in order to do so we require your help. Register: here
IASAS tournaments depend upon the goodwill and generosity of our ISB families to host the visiting IASAS athletes. This reciprocal hosting exchange adds immense value to our athletic program, and it provides a unique opportunity to develop new friendships, share in culture, and strengthen our connections across international communities.
With just two weeks before the IASAS Volleyball and Cross Country events we are in need of help from the ISB Community. Host families can anyone in the ISB community. This includes Elementary, Middle and High School families.
Please Note: It is expected that every in-season varsity athlete will provide housing. All varsity athletes are required to submit the housing form. If an athlete/family is unable to provide housing due to an unavoidable circumstance, they must find a replacement host, notify the athletic department of the new host, and have the host fill in the online form.
Once you submit the registration form you will be sent an email with detailed hosting expectations and FAQ’s. More specific event information will soon be forthcoming.
In brief:
- There will be an optional Host Family Meeting on Monday, October 3rd, 2022 at 6:00pm in the MPB 2.
- Host families are responsible for providing a safe environment for visiting students and act in compliance with the ISB Hosting Policy.
- Students must be hosted in pairs, or more, with no exceptions. Accommodation can be fairly basic and rooms shared.
- Host parents/guardians will not offer housing unless one of the parents/guardians is present for the duration of the tournament/convention. Supervision is required at home during the evenings.
- Visiting Athletes will arrive Wednesday the 5th of October, 2022
- The teams will depart on Sunday the 9th of October, 2022
- Families are expected to provide healthy breakfasts and dinners while hosting visiting students.
