Sport at NAAVU isn’t a separate period.
It’s one of the few places where children experience effort, failure, teamwork, and recovery in real time and we treat that as essential learning.
Sport is an integral part of student life at NAAVU.
Our programme encourages students to develop physical fitness, teamwork, discipline, and resilience through regular participation in sport and movement-based activities.
Students engage in a wide range of sports including basketball, football, cricket, badminton, skating, pickleball, martial arts, yoga, athletics, chess, and carrom.
The programme also includes a House Sports system, inter-school competitions, and opportunities for students to take on leadership roles through sports committees and events.
These experiences help students build confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity.
Space to run. Space to belong.
Our natural grass football field invites children to play the game as it was meant to be played; outdoors, together, and connected to the rhythm of the natural world.
From morning practice sessions to friendly games and school tournaments, the natural grass surface supports healthy movement while creating a more comfortable playing experience for growing bodies.
A space that adapts to every game.
Centred around an NBA-sized basketball court, this multi-purpose space welcomes different sports, different abilities, and different ways for students to challenge themselves and grow together.
Physical & Health Education
A lot of my day is spent on the field with students — running, playing, competing, and discovering what they’re capable of.
For me, sport is not only about winning games. It’s about teamwork, discipline, resilience, and the confidence that comes from trying again after a challenge. I enjoy creating opportunities for students to experience this, whether it’s through regular sports sessions, inter-school competitions, or large events like the Junior Olympics we organised for over 250 students.
What matters most to me is that every student feels welcome in sport. Some may become competitive athletes, while others simply learn to enjoy staying active. Both are equally important.
