MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Dear CDS Athletes and Parents,

Welcome to the 2026 –2027 school year!

I want to begin by sincerely thanking you for your continued support and commitment to CDS Athletics. Your involvement has played a vital role in shaping what our program has become today. Over the past few years, we have seen incredible growth, tripling participation across our athletic programs, and that success is a direct reflection of our dedicated student athletes and supportive families.

It has truly been an honor serving as your Athletic Director. Watching our students grow, compete, and represent CDS with pride has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. As I step away from this role, I do so with great confidence in the future of CDS Athletics.

I am excited to introduce our new Athletic Director, Mina Bernardino. Mina brings energy, experience, and a strong vision for continuing to build on the foundation we’ve established. I have no doubt she will lead the program to even greater success while continuing to prioritize student growth, school spirit, and athletic excellence. Please join me in giving her a warm welcome and your full support.

As part of ongoing efforts to strengthen and sustain our programs, the Athletics Department has reviewed and updated the athletic fee structure to better reflect each sport’s needs, including officials, travel, and tournament hosting.

Middle School Sports Fees:
Badminton, Basketball, Cross Country, Soccer, Swimming, Table Tennis, Volleyball: ₩175,000

These fees contribute directly to the operational costs of CDS Athletics.

Please submit payment before the second meeting or practice of your sport, which is also the deadline for the Athlete Participation Form.

Payment Details:
Bank Name: IBK
Account Number: 955-009331-04-024

Please include your student’s full name and sport in the payment note.

Thank you again for your trust, support, and dedication to CDS Athletics. It has been a privilege to be part of this community, and I look forward to seeing continued success in the years ahead.

Warm regards,
Clint Barnes
