We at GDGIS, every year come-up with more sports competitions and activities. We have core activities, such as skating, basketball, cricket, lawn Tennis, table tennis, yoga, fitness, football and swimming. This has numerous physical benefits include maintaining a healthy weight, preventing chronic diseases and learning the skills necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle after graduating.
The importance of sports and games in school encompasses more than just the benefit of physical activity. Increases in self-esteem and mental alertness make school sports and games necessary for every school age child.
Games and sports are an integral part of a student’s life. A student should study hard to be successful in competitive examinations. But, he should also play games and sports to enjoy the health and vigor of life.
Playing and excelling in sports also teaches kids the importance of hard work, perseverance, learning from failure, and importance of grasping opportunities.
Sports also results in improvement in self-esteem for certain students who may not be good in academics and makes them believe in themselves, which may result in improved academic performance. It also serves as the best ice-breaker for newer students, and helps in faster assimilation.
Therefore considering all these merits, we strive to provide proper facilities, dedicated instructors and time to help their students pursue sports.
