Playing grounds in schools are no longer just mere playgrounds; they are a place that ensures physical fitness, collaboration, and champions of tomorrow. In this regard, schools should adopt sports as part of their curriculum. This will mean that the facilities would always cater for varieties of students, ranging from younger ones to others who may need special consideration. The standard of sports infrastructures that schools provide today is directly proportional to the establishment of their success in athletics tomorrow. Here are what schools should consider when selecting and maintaining their sports infrastructure:
1. Purpose and Versatility: Maximizing Spaces
Sports infrastructure should be flexible. While schools like St. George’s Mussoorie and Heritage Experiential School have undertaken multi-sport facilities that host a variety of games- football, basketball, and futsal-all within one facility. This flexibility means students can partake in a host of sports for most of the year round. It maximises the use of physical space and encourages student participation. Multipurpose facilities support a wide range of athletic activities and offer cost-effective solutions for schools.
