Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) annually honors youth and high school sports coaches throughout the United States, who embody the ideals of the Double-Goal Coach® who strive to win, while also pursuing the even more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports. The Village School’s Head Cross Country Coach, Scott Mastro, was recently named a Houston Chapter winner for Positive Coaching Alliance’s Double-Goal Coach Award. This was a tremendous achievement that spoke volumes about the impact Coach Mastro was able to have with his team. His impact was so great, that PCA felt that his accomplishments were so outstanding that Coach Mastro was named as 1 of the 50 National Double-Goal Coach award winners. Coach Mastro will be honored at the PCA convention in San Francisco, CA this April. Congratulations to Coach Mastro for this historic achievement and for his ability to better our student-athletes both on and off the field.

Great job by all of our players and coaches! Go Vikings!

As the Spring sports rise into season play the Middle School Girls Lacrosse team is ready for action. With the season underway the girls are excited and eager to learn the game of Lacrosse. They have only played two games this season, but look forward to the rest of the year. Their next home game is Wednesday April 6th at 4:30 and they would love to have your support! Go Vikings

The girls have been working extremely hard. All throughout the off season and continuing through the season, they have been in the weight room working with Coach Kellar, who has been so awesome and getting the girls ready all year. We have had a couple challenging games so far, but looking to get our first win of the season this week!

The Village Tennis team played Second Baptist on February 23rd at the Ashford Community courts. Winter returned to Houston literally during the match, as temperatures fell and winds gusted, making play difficult for all.

For the boys Vishal P and Amit K played our singles lines, while Inigo A-O partnered with Shaunak S and Parin T partnered with Devan S in doubles. For the girls, Aanchal J and Helen Z played singles, while Divya R partnered with Sandhya S and Katie W partnered with Rhea M.

On March 1st, the Village Tennis team traveled to Pasadena to play Lutheran South Tuesday afternoon. Overall, the Vikings went 3-5.
