11月23日，华师双语橄榄球队冒雨参赛，在首届“长三角橄榄球超级联赛·青少年校际橄榄球联赛”中以20:18战胜青浦平和，勇夺冠军。 这是华师双语橄榄球队自今秋组建以来，首次亮相公开赛事，表现不俗。
On November 23, ECNUAS American Football Team beat Qingpu Pinghe Bilingual School and won the first Young Players American Football League game within the Yangtze River Delta. The score was 20-18 to ECNUAS. The team was just established this autumn and this debut proved to be very successful.
此次比赛，由上海市橄榄球协会主办，华师双语、青浦平和等4所学校参加了小学组比赛。此次进行的是校际2~3年级腰旗橄榄球比赛。与全装备橄榄球运动相比，腰旗橄榄球不允许抱人和推人，球员会在腰间系上腰旗，以扯掉持球队员腰旗为成功防守，是一种安全的“非冲撞性”运动，在世界30多个国家的青少年中广为流行。
Held by Shanghai Rugby Football Association (SRFA), this game attracted four schools like ECNUAS and Qingpu Pinghe to join in. This is a inter-school American football league for grade 2s and grade 3s. Compared to the traditional American football games, this flag football game doesn’t allow pushing people around. Players can score by taking off the flags on the opposition’s waists. It is safer and popular among recreational leagues around the world.
华师双语小学部橄榄球队队员来自校二三年级，几乎都是零起点。此次夺冠，主要得益于学校的全人教育理念，始终坚持体育的主课程地位，并与橄榄球专业俱乐部合作打造橄榄球队。
ECNUAS American Football Team started everything from scratch. The result of winning this competition proves the success of our holistic educational philosophy. We cooperate with professional rugby and football clubs to create our own team.
正如校长奶奶龚德辉女士告诉孩子们的那样：“在华师双语，体育和语数英一样，也是我们的主课程。如果你球打得好，游泳游得好，和语数英第一名一样重要，一样优秀，一样应该受到学校的表彰和老师的喜爱。”
As Principal Gloria told the students, “At ECNUAS, P.E. is as important as the main academic subjects. It’s important that you can play football well or swim well here. You will be rewarded just the same as the other subjects.”
来自G2B 的李显融是我校橄榄球队主力，赛后兴奋表示：“我们学校今年有橄榄球队真是太棒了！参加橄榄球队让我交到了很多好朋友，认识了好多特别棒的教练，我特别喜欢参加比赛，这次我们华师双语队通过所有人的团结努力赢得冠军，真是太开心了！”
Li Xianrong, a student from G2B, exclaimed excitedly after the match, “Our rugby football team is amazing! I made a lot of friends and got to know our fantastic coach. I like playing matches. I am so happy that we are the champions this time. Everyone worked really hard to get this trophy!”
“我特别喜欢橄榄球，”另一位球队主力，来自G2D顾思理一脸灿烂地说：“打橄榄球不仅可以锻炼身体，让自己更健康更强壮，还可以在和队友的配合中，学会更好地与人合作。”说完，他还笑着补充：“我不仅喜欢橄榄球，也喜欢篮球等运动，希望所有小伙伴都热爱运动。”
Gu Sili, another player from G2D said, “I really like playing football. It not only builds up my body, but also helps me learn that cooperation is important. Besides football, I also like playing basketball. I hope everyone can enjoy sports as much as I do.”
顾思理的妈妈则表示，作为家长非常感谢华师双语能为孩子们提供这么好的阳光课程。
Gu Sili’s mom expressed gratitude to ECNUAS for setting up such an amazing club lesson for students.
据悉，除了橄榄球队，华师双语还设立了棒球、羽毛球、足球、网球、游泳、轮滑、卡丁车等丰富多样的体育类课程，更大限度满足不同学生的个性化需求。
Apart from the American football team, we also have baseball, badminton, football, tennis, swimming, skating and go-cart lessons for students here at ECNUAS. Students can experience various sports courses to find their interests.
