Sports for All Programme

Playing sports as part of a school sports programme is not just for physical activity but teaches young children many valuable life skills. The Sports for All programme is an initiative that provides a platform and pathway for children of all ages (Grades 1-10) to pursue sports.

Creating a nurturing environment for athletes

The Sports for All programme goes beyond just physical activity. It fosters love for sports, hones essential skills and cultivates a competitive spirit in young athletes. By nurturing talent from a young age and providing a platform for competition, the programme empowers children to achieve their sporting potential.

Implementing Sports for All programme

  • Grades 1-5: Trainers conduct engaging activities and strategic games based on the TGFU model (Teaching Games for Understanding) to develop motor skills, flexibility and agility. This playful approach also helps identify potential talent for specific sports.
  • Grades 6-10: The focus shifts towards building competitive teams for age groups Under 14 and Under 16, to participate in school-level tournaments like District Level Sports (DSO) and Mumbai School Sports Association (MSSA). Scouting for talent begins in Grade 3, allowing children to gain early exposure and develop a strong foundation in their chosen sport.

When efforts meet encouragement

The Sports for All programme has been winning hearts and medals successfully. The athletes have participated in various District Sports Office (DSO) and school tournaments across Kabaddi, Athletics, Throwball, Wrestling and Indian Tag. In the academic year 2023-24, 808 students participated in DSO events and 214 students won medals, showcasing their dedication and the programme's effectiveness.
