| The girls' team worked hard and expects to grow with time and experience. |
On Monday, October 15 boys' and girls' volleyball teams had their first competition at the American Community School. IC girls fought hard in all their games. These girls have been playing together for two years and are able to see the measure of their growth and improvement over last year. In the end, the older, more experienced ACS girls prevailed on the scoreboard, however, IC girls all agreed they had fun and feel the importance of their sports activity.

| The score board records IC boys' strong game at ACS. |
IC boys dominated ACS in the first two games, but the ACS Knights became determined in the third game. The last minutes were exciting with ACS winning 10 straight points for a 23-19 lead. Then IC battled to trailing by one at 23-24. ACS pushed to score their final point. In the fourth and winning game, IC settled down to work as a team again and made a strong showing.

| The older girls are ready for competition. |
"The girl’s basketball teams are ready" says coach Tarek Moussally. Girls' basketball has been available at IC for the past four years. The program has been expanding steadily, building on girls willing to come out and learn the game and then develop their skills.
 |
| There is room for beginners willing to listen, learn and work. |
The girls are having good practices and are ready for competitions that will begin in a few weeks. Basketball is becoming a very popular sport in Lebanon and now girls are as keen to play as boys.
 |
| The boys' basketball teams do drills and scrimmage to keep their skills fine tuned. |
Boys' basketball is a well established sport at IC with a strong winning record. Surely their fans will want to come out and see the games.
