A Path of Growth

At Dipont KCS Chengdu, sports serve as a key platform for student growth and teamwork. Since its establishment, KCS has made significant strides in its sports programs, and with the new academic year, the teams are ready to embrace fresh challenges and opportunities.

Now entering its second year, the KCS volleyball program, fueled by passion and hard work, faces new challenges and opportunities. Many players, initially new to the sport in the U15 and U19 teams, have made remarkable strides this season. Their dedication has led to noticeable improvements in overall performance, showcasing the rapid development of KCS volleyball.

Students are committed beyond regular practice, utilizing lunch breaks and evenings to hone their skills. The volleyball court is rarely empty, reflecting their dedication. This extra effort is crucial for the team’s growth, enhancing both individual skills and team cohesion.
