一抹 “世外蓝”，点亮赛场悦动时
世外小学国际部的学生们在校内，完善的体育教学体系与丰富的活动安排为他们搭建了成长的基石；每到周末，这份对运动的热爱便延伸至校外赛场，他们身穿蓝色的世外队服，亮眼的“世外蓝”身影活跃在各类体育场馆，用拼搏与坚持书写着从校园到社会的成长篇章，展现出体育生活多元延伸的独特魅力。
校内的体育氛围早已融入日常：体育课上的基础训练、课后体育社团的专项指导，让足球、篮球、武术、橄榄球等项目的种子在学子心中生根发芽。
足球队的三、四、五年级学生，在校内训练中夯实技术基础，也正因这份积累，他们几乎每个周末都能自信投身校外的“攀翼杯”比赛，即便上一届五年级毕业的学生，也因在校期间培养的足球情谊，每周末重返赛场重聚；足球教练刘大祥不仅在校内打磨队员技术，更带领他们走出校园，前往兄弟学校开展友谊赛，以赛会友的同时，让校内训练成果在实战中得到检验与提升。
篮球队的成长更是校内筑基、校外突破的生动写照，而此次突破的背后，满是首次参赛的艰辛与师生携手的坚持。作为世外国际部学子史上首次组队参与篮球赛事，队员们从接到国际学校比赛邀请起，便面临着 “时间紧、磨合难” 的双重挑战 —— 彼时队员间默契尚浅，且日常需兼顾学科学习，留给训练的时间十分有限。
为了抓住这次难得的机会，外教 Dario 老师主动利用课后碎片时间，逐一对队员的配合技巧进行打磨，从基础传球到战术跑位，手把手搭建起球队的战术框架；队员们也格外珍惜机会，课后主动加练，课间讨论战术，就连队服预定都高效推进，仅用一周时间便完成了从 “零散个体” 到 “团结队伍” 的蜕变，将校内有限时间里的每一分努力，都转化为出征校外赛场的底气。
最终，这支毫无大赛经验的 “新手队伍”，在与多所国际学校的较量中敢打敢拼，虽有输赢，却收获了远超成绩的实战经验与团队凝聚力。更令人动容的是，比赛间隙为 Eric Wu 同学举办的生日会，让校内培养的团队温情跨越校园边界，家长们看在眼里，纷纷感慨 “这样克服困难、凝聚人心的校内外联动活动，太有意义，一定要多开展”。
击剑项目的双胞胎姐妹花，走出校园。周末，姐妹俩远赴海南参赛，姐姐一举夺得个人与团体两个铜牌，妹妹也收获团体银牌；本周末，即便身体欠佳，她们仍坚持完成上海的击剑赛事。正如她们的爸爸所言，奖牌只是短期努力的见证，击剑运动更珍贵的价值，在于让孩子们懂得 “这条路很长，不可能每次都赢”—— 在一次次训练的疲惫、比赛的输赢中，她们学会了不轻易放弃，培养出直面困难的坚毅品质，这份深入骨子里的韧性，远比任何一块奖牌更能支撑她们走得长远。
校内各项体育活动有序开展，而在周末孩子们走进更广阔的运动天地，在专业网球场挥洒汗水，在马术赛场与马匹默契配合，在滑雪赛道挑战速度与平衡。从校内的兴趣启蒙到校外的深度体验，从课堂上的技术学习到赛场上的实战比拼，世外国际部学子的体育生活，早已突破校园边界，形成了 “校内筑基、校外延伸” 的完整成长路径。这份跨越校园的运动热情，不仅丰富了课余生活，更让体育精神深深扎根，塑造出学子们积极向上、勇于挑战的精神风貌。

The Bright "World Foreign Language Blue"
Students at the International Division of Shanghai World Foreign Language Primary School have a solid foundation for growth built by the school’s comprehensive physical education system and diverse activity arrangements on campus. Every weekend, their passion for sports extends to off-campus arenas.
Dressed in the blue team uniforms of World Foreign Language Primary School, the striking figures in "World Foreign Language Blue" shine in various sports venues. With dedication and perseverance, they write a growth story that spans from campus to the wider community, demonstrating the unique charm of a diverse and extended sports life.
The sports atmosphere on campus has long been integrated into daily life: basic training in physical education classes and specialized guidance in after-school sports clubs have sown the seeds of sports like football, basketball, martial arts, and rugby in students’ hearts.
Students from Grades 3 to 5 on the football team consolidate their technical skills through on-campus training. It is thanks to this foundation that they can confidently participate in the off-campus "Pany Yi Cup" (Panyi Cup) every weekend. Even students who graduated from Grade 5 last year reunite on the field every weekend, bonded by the football friendships they formed at school. Coach Liu Daxiang not only polishes the players’ skills on campus but also leads them beyond the school to play friendly matches with sister schools. While making friends through sports, the team’s on-campus training results are tested and improved in real competitions.
The growth of the basketball team is a vivid example of "laying a foundation on campus and achieving breakthroughs off-campus." Behind this breakthrough lies the hardship of participating in a competition for the first time and the joint perseverance of teachers and students. As the first basketball team ever formed by the International Division to compete in a tournament, the players faced dual challenges of "limited time and difficult teamwork" after receiving the invitation to the international school competition. At that time, the players had little rapport with each other, and they also needed to balance academic studies, leaving very limited time for training.
To seize this rare opportunity, foreign teacher Dario took the initiative to use fragmented after-school time to refine each player’s coordination skills—from basic passing to tactical positioning—guiding them hands-on to build the team’s tactical framework. The players also cherished this chance deeply as they took the initiative to practice extra after class, discussed tactics during breaks, and even efficiently finalized the team uniform order. In just one week, they transformed from "dispersed individuals" into a "united team," turning every bit of effort put in during limited on-campus time into confidence for the off-campus competition.
In the end, this "rookie team"—with no experience in major competitions—fought bravely against teams from multiple international schools. Though they had both wins and losses, they gained far more than just results. They acquired practical experience and team cohesion. What was even more touching was that a birthday party was held for student Eric Wu during the break, allowing the team warmth fostered on campus to extend beyond the school boundaries. Parents watched with admiration, commenting, "Such off-campus activities that overcome difficulties and unite people are truly meaningful. Wwe hope there will be more of them!"
The twin sisters on the fencing team also step out of the campus to compete. Last weekend, they traveled to Hainan for a fencing tournament. The elder sister won two bronze medals (in individual and team events), while the younger sister took home a silver medal in the team event. This weekend, despite feeling unwell, they still persisted in completing the fencing competition in Shanghai. As their father said, "Medals are only a testament to short-term efforts. The more precious value of fencing lies in teaching children that ‘this journey is long, and you can’t win every time.’" Through the tiredness of training sessions and the ups and downs of competitions, they have learned not to give up easily and developed the perseverance to face difficulties. This resilience, rooted deep in their character, will support them far more than any medal ever could.
While various sports activities run smoothly on campus, students step into a broader sports world on weekends. They sweat on professional tennis courts, build rapport with horses at equestrian venues, and challenge speed and balance on ski slopes. From sports enlightenment on campus to in-depth off-campus experiences, from technical learning in classes to real competitions on the field, the sports life of students at the International Division has long transcended campus boundaries. It forms a complete growth path of "laying a foundation on campus and extending off-campus." This cross-campus passion for sports not only enriches their after-school life but also embeds the spirit of sports deeply in their hearts, shaping them into positive, challenge-seeking individuals.
