In the words of Louis Zamperini, “That’s one thing you learn in sports. You don’t give up, you fight to the finish.”
In recognition of the importance of sports in one’s life, Vidya Vikas Academy celebrated National Sports Day (Rashtriya Khel Divas) with great zeal. National Sports Day is celebrated every year on 29 August in India as a tribute to our country’s pride, the hockey wizard, Major Dhyan Chand.
The program started with a session by FC Goa Football Clinic wherein the team imparted their tips and tricks to tackle and play every sport, be it hockey, football or volleyball.
