Sports

Children at Summer Valley School are encouraged to realise that marks are created in the classrooms but memories and personalities are created on the playing fields. It is here that children experience a myriad of emotions like euphoria, humility, defeat, resolute defiance of the scoreboard to rise against all odds to be a winner.

The school encourages its students to actively take up sports, indoor as well as outdoor, and provides them with the necessary infrastructure for cricket, football, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, basketball, roller skating, chess, athletics, shooting, gymnastics and aerobics.

Regular Physical exercise is given due importance in the school. Highly trained and professional coaches train the children in the various sports.

Inter house matches are conducted in the school on a regular basis. Children who are selected in the school team are also sent for council school matches, district matches and invitational matches of other schools.

Children have excelled in the various sports and made their mark in both state level and national level tournaments. Special Sport ties are given to children who excel in sports during Founders day each year.

The School organizes and participates in all school games and sports at the Inter-School, District, State and National levels. Our students have won laurels in the State and National Basket Ball, Shooting and Table Tennis competitions. But our forte is Table Tennis in which our students are undisputed champions year in and year out for the last many years.
