Basketball Program
We are running a basketball program where we have inducted 275 children (129 girls and 146 boys) within age group of 12 years to 18 years. We started the program in 2019 but due to covid situation in 2020 & 2021 we could not run the program smoothly. But from November 2021 the program was back in full swing. The children are being trained under professional resident coaches (one female and two male). The training sessions are designed in such a way that they do not clash with the education program. We have two separate Basketball courts in both campuses.
Daily Training schedule:
• The training session for the girls is conducted in the morning from 5.30 am to 6.45 am and 7.30 am to 9.00 am. Also a session is conducted in the evening from 4.15 pm to 5.45 pm.
• The training session for the boys is conducted in the morning from 7.30 am to 9.00 am and in the evening from 4.15 pm to 5.45 pm and 7.00 pm to 8.00 pm.
