Sports at Aarohi

As you would have noticed in the aarohi schedule - friday has a special time marked as sports
2:30 to 3:30 - sports (effective from Jan 2010)

Each child receives their very personal HOCKEY (stick and ball)!
and every Friday children will dash to a close-by playing ground to enjoy playing hockey.

As of now, their coach will be (our own shah rukh khan) - Ratnesh uncle :-)
whose claim to fame is that he played lot of hockey as a 10 year old!

Please ensure that children wear comfortable (sports) clothing on fridays - specially (and MUST have) is a pair of sports shoes.

Parents are most welcome to join us either regularly or sporadically - come with your own hockey stick, and sport shoes.

Why Hockey?:

• We wanted to choose a team game (hence no racket games)
• We wanted a game where all can be involved all the time (hence cricket eliminated)
• We wanted a game which requires active usage of hands as well as legs (hence football eliminated)
• We wanted something in which children can run a lot (hence volleyball and throw ball eliminated)
• We wanted something that does not require any specialized field / court (hence basketball eliminated)
• We also wanted something that can be easily practised at home and even played indoors - ( papart from practicing hockey in a corridor or drive way or empty room one can play miniature hockey on a table using pencils as hockey and marble as a ball :-)

Hockey

turned out to be

the perfect choice.

Thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome.

chuk de fridays!, chuk de aarohi!, chuk de inida!
