Research suggests that sports can positively channel the energy of children. It can also provide development opportunities and promote the learning and application of life skills, such as adapting to every environment and developing team spirit.
In Gurukul, the students practice sports regularly and stay active and healthy. Involvement in sports activities helps them build a better immune system and improve their confidence levels.
Here in Gurukul, we choose one game every month, which the students practice for a month. At the end of the month, we have exhibition matches for all age groups, and the winning teams get awards. So, the students learn 8 to 10 games in a year, identify their talents, and choose their passions in life.
