“Play a sport. It will teach you to win honorably, lose gracefully, respect authority, work with others, manage your time and stay out of trouble.” - Anon

1. Hall of Gymnastics

Students of The Pupil have the unique opportunity to learn gymnastics from national-level athletes in a spacious, fully-equipped two-floor height “Hall of Gymnastics” within the premises. Students receive training in both Rhythmic and Artistic Gymnastics and learn to use apparatus such as balance beams, vaults, uneven bars, parallel bars, pommel horse, trampolines and floor mats. Thus, they gain valuable skills such as flexibility, stamina, concentration, discipline, quick reflexes and situational awareness, which contribute to their mental, physical and emotional growth. In addition, we offer after-school classes and advanced training for competitive gymnasts.

2. Archery

Archery classes at The Pupil are not only an opportunity for students to learn such a distinctive and elegant skill, but also an avenue to hone their vision, focus and fortitude.

3. Taekwondo

Training in the Korean martial art of Taekwondo is as much as an exercise for the mind as it is for the body. In addition to teaching self-defense, Taekwondo enhances both mental and physical stamina and promotes discipline and mutual respect.

4. Swimming

Learning to swim is a life skill that is taught to every Pupilite from Class 4 upwards. The Pupil boasts of a 25 metre Olympic-standard swimming pool, and also offers learn to swim programs throughout the year and advanced training for competitive swimmers. We host the annual South Zone Swimming Competitions.

5. Tennis

Students of The Pupil learn tennis from trained and dedicated personnel in a professional standard synthetic court on campus.

6. Physical Education

The sports hour is perhaps the most awaited period of the week, as The Pupil’s Sports Team has perfected the art of enhancing physical endurance, mental strength and good sportsmanship through fun activities and games. Annual Battery of Tests are conducted to test endurance, agility, speed and strength, and identify young talent to participate in District, Regional and State level competitions. In addition, students represent their House Teams in an Athletic Meet held on the Saveetha University grounds, and later in the Sports Day on campus every year.
