Potential New Teams at GISS

Badminton

Bringing a badminton team to our schools' Athletic Program is something that could bring a big impact to our school. A lot of people have commented on having a Badminton Team, here are some things that have been said: 

“We should have a Badminton Team though I'm not sure I would play on it, I would try to watch some games,” said Nick Dawson when interviewed earlier this week. Julie Morin stated, “I definitely think a lot of people would benefit from having a school Badminton Team, I might not play on the team but I would definitely come watch and support.” 

Plenty of other people who were interviewed said they would join the team for sure and play for it. Some said they were concerned about when practices would be and how it would work in our school gym schedule, considering our gym is quite packed. If this is something you would be interested in having/joining please voice your opinion and support. This would not only bring fun and growth, but it would also bring people together of different ages with common interests.

Softball

A potential new school sport ideas to add to the school’s Athletic Program options is a Softball Team. When we interviewed people about their thoughts on it, we were met with positive feedback. Many students were interested in potentially having a Softball Team in the future. Ever Wirth said, "I would be interested and hope other people would be interested also.” 

We asked other questions about what colors or designs they would like for the uniforms, and they were all open to any design and colors including new colors that aren’t already used by the school. 

Ms. Allan stated that she would be open to a potential coaching role if the idea were to come to life. Overall, we think this would be a good addition to our school's sports teams and would have lots of people excited about it.
