Sports
The Scindia School is dotted with 14 full-fledged playing fields spread across its over 160-acre campus. The school provides a matrix of intra- and inter-school sports activities. In the Junior Section, depending upon the season, boys undergo training in all major team games. From Class VIII, the students are encouraged to specialize in a sport, according to their inclination and also based on the suggestions of the expert Coaches for at least one whole year. However, the boys are encouraged to play inter-house tournaments and participate in other sports as well.
In Athletics, and in the Cross-country race, along with the highly competitive sections, the school also has a popular non-competitive section to encourage mass participation. Every student on an average plays two hours of sports every day. An ‘early rise’ fitness programme of scientifically planned set of exercises and yoga keeps the boys ‘healthy and agile’.
Further, the school has a mission that every Scindian must be a swimmer. Traditional Indian games such as Kho-kho and Kabaddi are celebrated at the annual sports gala. The teacher in charge of the event occasionally also introduce Indian fun games such as Pitthhoo, Gilli Danda, or kite flying.
Junior students go for trekking during Camps. They are also trained for rock climbing, jumaring, and rappelling on rocks around the Fort.
