 To
Our Members
Welcome to the AKS Fall 2007 activities!
We are
excited to present new activities to the AKS line-up as we
look forward to another action-packed season.
As
always, a very BIG THANK YOU to all our volunteers and
sponsors ¨C you are the pillar of strength for the AKS
community and your continuous support keeps us growing.
Speaking
of growth, the numbers keep rising as our current membership
reached 1,850 active members; programs and activities have
also doubled in both Minhang and in Pudong to keep up with our
growing families.
Now for
a brief recap of the past year¡¯s events:
*The AKS All Star Tournaments for baseball and basketball from
both sides of the river wrapped up another successful season.
This season-ender event for the major sports gets more
exciting every year.
*Tough training for our AKS International soccer teams again
paid off as our players received podium places in tournaments
around Shanghai and at the Malaysia Tournament 2007. The
elite teams U-10/12/14 will be expanded this year with the
addition of U-16 group.
*We would also like to thank Vizcaya, Shanghai Racquet Club
and Shanghai American School for hosting the AKS Summer
Camps. The cool camp activities were the perfect antidote to
scorching heat and sauna-like temperatures outdoors.
The new
line-up for Fall Season 2007:
*Flag Football is now an official AKS team sport! Leagues
will start in September in Puxi and Pudong.
*Pudong basketball expands with weekday training. Basketball
players will improve their ball handling and other skills on
weekdays.
*Limited weekday programs previously offered only in Gubei
will now also be made available to the Minhang and Pudong
areas.
Newsworthy bits:
*Over the summer break the AKS Soccer & baseball pitch in
Gubei has been upgraded completely! New turf, extra field
space, no more holes¡ in short: A brand new field!
*As online registering for AKS activities has shown to be very
popular, we have expanded the online registration procedure to
now include everyone! Create an AKS account, update your
personal info, apply for activities, etc¡ it can all be done
from the convenience of your home!
*The Community Center in Pudong is moving offices¡ and so is
AKS Pudong! AKS PD Office Assistant Rebekah will accommodate
you three days a week at their new center in GreenHills (Jinqiao).
*And last but not least, get added benefits with your AKS
membership cards ¡ keep an eye on your email for more info¡
So get
ready for another exciting AKS year with plenty of activities
for all of you!!!
See you
out there¡
