On Saturday SAIS entered a team in the Under 13 section of the Shenzhen Dodgebee tournament. Coached by teachers. Mike Penney and Matt Koo the team have only been playing the sport for a little over 2 months. Competing against teams who have been together for several years the SAIS team played 6 group matches before being defeated in the semi-final by the eventual winners.
周六，深美国际学校的学生参加了深圳躲避盘13岁以下组的春季赛。在迈克·彭尼（Mike Penney）和马特·古（Matt Koo）老师的指导下，深美团队的学生们已经进行这项运动训练两个多月了。这一次比赛是与已经训练多年的球队竞争，深美团队不畏困难，不惧挑战，奋勇至上，一共参加了6场小组赛，冲进半决赛。
With 16 players in the squad and 13 on court at any one time players were able to be rotated to ensure we had fresh legs every time.
阵容中一共有16名球员，13名同时上场，所有球员互相轮换，确保上场的球员都是时刻精力充沛，保持最佳状态，进入比赛。
The day was hot and long but spirits were high as the team came in a very creditable 4thplace in the tournament. Most of our players will also be eligible for under 13 teams next year and now they have some experience of playing and of being in a tournament we are sure they will come back even stronger next time.
当天天气炎热，整场比赛时长达5个小时，深美作为一支只有两个月的年轻团队，最终得到第四名的好成绩，队员们情绪高涨，备受鼓励。明年，我们的学员们会继续参加13岁以下组的躲避盘比赛，届时，他们有更多的比赛经验，我们也相信，他们一定会更强大，取得更好的成绩。
Well done team.
Well done our coaching staff.
