2020年朝陽區青少年棒壘球錦標賽上，啟明星校隊成績不俗：
在U12冠軍組（5-6年級）中奪得冠軍，在U10精英組（3-4年級）中獲得第三名！
上周末，舉辦多年的朝陽區青少年棒壘球錦標賽開鑼。儘管一度被疫情打亂了訓練節奏，啟明星的孩子們依舊打出了亮眼的成績！
「參加U12級別賽的孩子們能力比較強，精神狀態特別好！參加U10級別賽的孩子們年紀小一些，訓練的時間也不長，但他們很有目標，正在追趕U12 級別組！」啟明星棒球隊總教練王超說。
王超教練擁有國際健將運動員證書，是中國首位與美國MLB大聯盟（世界最大棒球聯盟美國職業棒球大聯盟）正式籤約的球員，多次參加奧運會、亞運會、全運會在內的重要國內外賽事，對青少年棒球訓練擁有豐富的經驗。
他訓練啟明星的學生已經三、四年，啟明星學生的運動精神讓他印象特別深：
「他們是真的熱愛棒球，無論訓練還是比賽都特別投入。這些孩子享受運動的感覺，一旦開始打球，你站在一旁都能感受到他們發自內心的快樂！」
棒球運動在啟明星開展多年，MLB（美國職業棒球大聯盟）曾向啟明星輸送過教練。學校也注重棒球運動的硬體條件，有國際足聯FIFA認證的草坪，也擁有專門的打擊籠。「啟明星的棒球運動硬體在整個北京市都是位居前列的。」王超說。
棒球校隊屬於啟明星課後課DRAGON項目。DRAGON項目通過豐富的課後課程，比如英文橋梁課程、花園俱樂部、啟明星電視臺等，支持學生發現和滋養個人興趣，向「全人」成長。以棒球、足球為代表的體育類課程，是DRAGON項目的重要一類。
本周末，啟明星校隊也將參加北京市棒協組織的「猛虎杯」比賽。我們祝願孩子們展現最好的自己，享受運動的快樂，加油！
