The five S’s of sports training are: stamina, speed, strength, skill, and spirit; but the greatest of these is spirit.
Sports Day is an important event, as it imparts the significance of physical exercise in our life. Physical activity increases metabolism and is good for health. Various innovative games are planned to focus on the development of the gross motor skills and the mental agility of children. Playing a sport regularly keeps children fit forever.
