The most anticipated period in any day is the games period. At Riverside, games and sports are daily activities which combine the values of being physically fit and also being able to compete in both individual and team sports.
A unique aspect of the sporting activities in Riverside is that every sport has its own coach in order to foster the pursuit of excellence. A scientific and rigorous syllabus is in place for all sporting activities. Students compete at the district, state and even national levels in a variety of competitions and over the years, sporting achievements are one of the hallmarks of the institution.
Riverside enrols the services of 20 coaches in various disciplines. In cases where we do not have a coach to cater to the child's need, specialist coaches are hired to fulfil the need. Some of the common sports played are listed below. Over the years, our children have excelled in Swimming, Shooting and other disciplines due to the flexible schooling system for sports inclined children. Some of the sports offered at Riverside are listed below.
Students from grade 1 to grade 5 are allowed to play all the games. Grade 6 onwards each child gets to select two games of his/her own interest and they are trained by the respective coaches to excel in it.
FOOTBALL CRICKET BASKETBALL
