With an aim to provide a conducive environment to the future sports legends Delhi Public School, Mohali hosted an Inter-House Badminton Competition for the students of classes VI-X. Students of Ravi, Satluj, Jhelum, Chenab, Ganges and Yamuna House competed against each other to bag the winning trophy.

In the very first contest, the delighted participants of Girls team played with all their elated spirit in which Yamuna House players won and secured the First position. For the next game, the cheers and applause by respective house members created a vivacious tempo for the spirited players. In this group-match, the Jhelum House players showed great hand eye coordination by giving a tough challenge to Ganges House players, who bounced back with swift back and forth movement of the paddles. However, the sharp focus and terrific footwork of Jhelum House players brought them victory.

The thrill and vivacity had set in when the Senior group held the racket for the last match of the series. From the sound of the ball hitting the table to the feel of it bouncing off their racket, the Senior group’s players showed new types of hits and tactics, which amazed the cheering crowd of the students. The Satluj House players spun the ball quite skilfully making it difficult for the opponent team of Yamuna House players to make an apt move. However, towards the end, the anticipation grew and eagerness rose as the Satluj House team tried their best to manoeuvre their opponents around the table — hoping to open up a point winning opportunity. The tournament was an enthralling experience for all the budding players of the school. Delhi Public School, Mohali always stays committed to coach and engage students in their favourite sports and games as future India hopes that they will bring home the accolades one day!
