They develop true spirit of sportsmanship and sense of camaraderie amongst the cadets and also give an opportunity to students to exhibit extraordinary talents and techniques. A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Sports help in removing boredom and keep the cadets fit. It instills a sense of discipline and confidence in them. The world is a big playground. Life is a game and we are the players. Games teach us how to play successfully, the game of life. In order to fight the grain battle of life, we need physical stamina.

The Duke of Wellington once said, “The battle of Waterloo was won on the play field of Harrow and Eton”. The spirit of discipline, comradeship and fair play are the core of sportsmanship and ensure success on the play field or battlefield of life. What matters in sports is not victory or defeat but how you played the game. This is what we call sportsmanship — the most desirable quality in students.
