Sports

Sports not only teacher us how to lose but it also teaches us how not to be a loser.

The domain of sports has the vast potential to better the game of life itself sports play as important role in instilling among our students – values that would hold them in good stead throughout their lives such as discipline, team spirit, hard work and sportsmanship etc.

The success of our students in sports bear testimony to the school’s endeavours in encouraging sporting talent as well as our students’ indomitable will and skill to win.

To keep the body in good health is a duty for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom and keep our mind strong and clean.

Water surrounds the lotus flower but does not wet its petals are the words of Lord Buddha regarding good health.

At LGS ample opportunities are provided to our students to play and prove their mettle in various sports and games at various levels like Zonal, District and State.

Some of the major events won by LGS students are as follows :

TENNIS:-

LGS houses the top-notch tennis players in the district and has to its credit many medals won by our strong team at various state and national level tournaments.

TABLE TENNIS:-

LGS remains unbeaten when it comes to table tennis at the Zonal and the district levels.  Kudos to the students and the dedicated coach we have.

BADMINTON:-

Another strong area is shuttle badminton where our students excel.

Our athletes make their presence felt in whichever tournament they participate.  They give a very tough competition to the opponents.

We win many matches and when we lose we learn. Organized effort and the rigorous practice given to our sportsmen by the physical education department at LGS has brought in laurels to the institution.

But then contentment over our laurels and achievements has to be ruled out if we have to reach the zenith of success.

So, LGS keeps forging ahead learning new lessons at every step and exploring new possibilities and offering exciting opportunities to her students.

And we know there’s still a long way to go …..
