U16 Volleyball Wins SAIKAC Gold After Five Years of Teamwork at ISG Jubail

Five years of teamwork, commitment and hard work have led to a remarkable achievement for ISG Jubail’s U16 volleyball girls team, which has secured first place at the Saudi Inter-Kingdom Activities Conference (SAIKAC). After finishing second in the 2025-26 season, the team returned determined to take the next step and delivered an undefeated performance across both SAIKAC competition days, earning gold medals and bringing home another trophy for the school.

The achievement reflects years of growing together as a team. Having worked alongside one another for five years, the athletes have developed a strong understanding of each other's playing styles and learned what it takes to compete as a united group. Their progress has been evident throughout the season, with dedication extending beyond scheduled practices and into their physical education classes. Their coaches saw their talent and commitment in every training session as the players continued to refine their skills and prepare for competition.

The final match against ISG Dammam proved to be a particularly exciting finish. With points close throughout the game, the Jaguars had to stay focused and work together until the final point. Their win secured first place and completed an undefeated SAIKAC campaign, making the gold medals and trophy an especially meaningful reward for the team's efforts.

ISG Jubail’s boys also made a positive contribution to the competition, representing their school with commitment and giving their teammates plenty to celebrate. Their participation added to a strong tournament experience for the wider volleyball community.

Behind the teams’ progress has been the guidance and support of coaches Jason Martin, Haidar Alaqoul and Meisie Maja, who have worked alongside the athletes throughout their development. The encouragement of families, staff and the wider ISG Jubail community has also played an important role. Their belief in the players remained strong throughout the season and that support has been part of the journey to the championship.

Congratulations to our U16 volleyball athletes and boys’ team on a fantastic SAIKAC season. The entire ISG Jubail community is incredibly proud of what you have achieved. Go Jaguars!
