One of the most important goals of Soham Champs program is to promote sports in schools. Towards this end we started coaching our boys and girls from at least six schools at select grounds. On Friday, 19-07-2019, we organized a mini kabaddi tournament for the boys under two categories Under-17 and Under-14. Five schools – Amberpet Government High School(CPL), Jama-e-Osmania Government High School, Sitaphalmandi Government High School, SVES High School, and Sai Grace School participated in this friendly tournament that lasted over 90 minutes.

It was a fierce battle. Under the guidance of our sports gurus Yogesh and Azeez, one of our teams, Amberpet Government High school, emerged as champions last year at the Mandal level. Jama-e-Osmania Government High School and Sitaphalmandi Government High School were finalists at their own mandal level competitions. These three schools battled it out in a series of round robin matches. Jama-e-Osmania school won all their matches. These three schools and SVES High School and Sai Grace School also participated in this friendly tournament.

It was a proud moment for Soham as we were able to bring together several schools to have a real match practice for the upcoming Mandal competitions for this academic year. We hope to have several such practice matches. Our goal is to take all the boys and girls from all our Soham Champs schools to the Mandal level competitions this year.

Kudos to our Yoga gurus – Yogesh, Azeez and Mahender who organized this event. iFocus members Sai Mamidi and Vivek joined to help in smooth conduct of the tournament. When tempers fly high we had some cool headed gurus who handled things in a very professional manner.
