The Green Lion India organises sports coaching for students at government schools in Udaipur. We organized a ‘Tie Olympic Match’ for them on 27th January, 2019. 20 boys from a hostel were encouraged to take part in this tournament. These boys enjoyed their morning sports practise with our participants. First, the Participants began the session with showcasing their talents to our students. Seeing these visitors from foreign countries showing their sports enthusiasm inspired the students to get up early and join the practices at 6 AM. They made it a habit to rise early and practice and this keeps them energised throughout the day.

Since the schools do not have the facility to train for physical education, The Green Lion India created this platform for students to train and improve their skills in sports. Our participants started to coach these students for sports like football, cricket, volleyball and chess.

Our full time local coach Nadeem and participants from various countries enjoyed coaching the students to play sports while using and training them for new techniques to upscale on their physical skills as well as life skills. After all, sports is for all and we must find alternative methods of ensuring every student enjoys the feeling of being active by engaging in sports. We let the students express themselves through participating in tournaments and inter-school matches.

In the last inter-school football match, our students won by penalty shoot out. They rejoiced over their victory with our participants and The Green Lion Coordinators. They were given medals and a trophy. It is wonderful to see these students have learnt the art of sportsmanship and teamwork. Next match is scheduled to be held on 4th May 2019, which is eagerly awaited by students and our team alike.

 

Furthermore, we also gave the children lessons on personal health care and various other important issues such as gender equality. All elements of this program took place on the sports field in fun and interactive ways. Playing sports can aid the personal development of any child as it promotes social interaction, knowledge and passion which are life skills that lead to their overall development. Nadeem, a dedicated coach from The Green Lion helps these students to achieve their dreams along with our enthusiastic participants.
