For a first-year program, their performance exceeded expectations and highlighted the strength of the athletes, the coaching, and the school’s commitment to building a thriving sports culture.

This tournament marks a significant accomplishment for CIS Foshan athletics and sets a promising foundation for the future of Dragons Basketball. With this strong debut, the Dragons have shown that they are not only participants — they are competitors — and their journey is only just beginning.

The future of CIS Foshan basketball looks bright.
