Sportism: Where Work is Play We often forget we ‘play’ sports and not ‘work’ sports. We put the word ‘fun’ back into playing sports. This results in identifying the true potential and interest of children. In Sportism, we impart sports education and training to children in the age group of 4-12 at their homes or residential complexes ensuring convenience to mother and child. We conduct age specific tailor-made training programs by introducing fundamental movement skills in a fun environment. We not only identify the talent and right sport for the child through our proprietary techniques but also transform his/her abilities into skills. Our training sessions have a right blend of free play and structured learning. We source the best teaching talent by hiring only state and national level sportspersons as trainers. We do pre and post assessment of children undergoing training so that we can understand every child’s requirement better and can focus on holistic development of each child (fitness, endurance and mental strength). Every programme at Sportism has a structured curriculum to teach fundamental movement skills and sports specific skills. The classes have been divided into different skills and activities and have been developed scientifically. Each class has been designed by a panel of experts with a learning outcome in mind. Each programme first takes into account the age of the child and the physical ability. A sense of accomplishment is instilled, and we frown upon discouraging any child. We bear in mind that every child is unique!

2. Dear Parent,
Introduce me to sports
even if I think I don’t
like them. They could
end up empowering me
and keeping me healthy
for life.
Sincerely,
A child.
Most Indians go into education. Their
parents just push them into education
like parents in Australia push them into
sports.
- Mahesh Bhupati
Is winning important? Of course
it is, but values such as fairness,
sportsmanship, discipline and
determination are more
important in the long run than
winning. We suffer for a while
after a painful loss, but the
character growth that is learnt
from competition stays around
for life.
