Under normal circumstances…. The circumstances now are not normal, you may have noticed. Because of the closure of the school due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not hold our annual awards celebration in person. This was disappointing to all Sabers athletes and coaches. Still, it gives us great pleasure to announce the 2019-20 Sabers team and school award winners. Please visit the Sabers awards website for more information. We honor our high school student athletes with two kinds of awards:

SABERS GIRLS: 2019 AISA CHAMPIONS! Boys finish 3rd. Boys recap: A relatively young Sabers boys soccer team placed a respectable 3rd at the 2019 AISA soccer tournament held in Yokohama. After going scoreless on day 1, the Sabers boys soccer team found themselves in a tie for 2nd place in their pool and facing a tiebreaking "kicks from the penalty mark" shootout with KIS early Saturday morning. For a young team, this might have been a nerve-wracking experience, but the Sabers were calm, not even bothering to put on their uniforms, and won the shootout to advance to the semifinals, where they lost to eventual champions Yokohama International School. All-tournament team members were Neo Yokoyama, Kentaro Okuda, and Taishi Fukuda. A big thank you to Coach Entwistle and Coach Nikolic. Girls recap: The Sabers girls soccer team went undefeated through pool play and the semifinals, but they gave up a goal in each match. The defense tightened up in the finals, holding the host Korea International School Phoenix to a scoreless draw. The Sabers prevailed in an exciting "kicks from the penalty mark" shootout, 3-1, to repeat as AISA champions. All tournament team members were Leona Yanagi, Keito Iuchi, Ririko Okuno, and Nanami Hasegawa. Special congratulations to Coach Kono who single-handedly coached the team this year. Thank you to chaperone Matsuda-sensei. Original announcement The Sabers girls and boys soccer teams play in Association of International Schools in Asia (AISA) championship tournaments this weekend, April 11 and 12, 2019.

in the winter Kanto Plains championship meet hosted by St. Mary's International School in Tokyo, February 2, 2019. In the age 13-14 division, OIS 9th grader Tadayoshi Kamegai competed in 3 events, placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in those events to finish 3rd overall in his age division. The Sabers are coached by Mr. Bertman and Ms. Kano.
Four Sabers teams took part in AISA events, January 24-27, 2019, in Seoul, Yokohama, and Osaka.
SOIS hosted the 2019 Western Japan Athletic Association (WJAA) high school girls varsity basketball championship tournament January 18-19 in a chilly Sabers gym, and the Sabers thrilled the home crowd by winning the WJAA title, defeating Yokohama International School in the finals, 35-32. In a scrappy defensive battle full of turnovers and jump balls, neither team could mount much of an offensive attack. OIS senior Niki Heimer led the Sabers with 10 points, with SIS senior Yulia Ikumi adding 9 points despite spending much of the game on the bench with foul trouble. Haruka Mibuchi scored 8 points, Akari Sugimoto added 4, and Sakura Okamoto and Karen Akashi each chipped in 2 points to round out the scoring for Coach Sagara's team.
