Facilities on Campus

HPS has the privilege of being able to provide its students with the best of sporting facilities. The vast grounds make it possible to provide for every sport played in school. There are well laid out clay and hard courts for tennis, volleyball, kabaddi, badminton, basketball, throw ball and tennikoit. Kho-Kho, hockey and football have multiple fields that accommodate more than one team at a time. There are permanent tracks marked for the Track and Field events. Students playing cricket are provided with the turfs and nets needed for practice as well as fields to play competitive matches. Provisions have been made for indoor games such as carrom and chess. All the equipment used by students for the various sports is of the finest quality.

The 10 M Indoor air conditioned Shooting Range of International Standard adds to the pride of the school. It is one of the best shooting ranges in the Twin Cities and has highly sophisticated 11 Firing Points and an electronic target for Air Rifle and Air Pistol. Students are coached by trainers of international repute.

Another feather in the HPS cap is the Horse Riding Club. Students have the unique opportunity to ride horses and take part in Equestrian Sports on campus. 6 well trained Polo Riding horses are stationed in permanent, well maintained stables.

Students who enrol themselves to this sport are trained by a highly qualified professional trainer. They are trained for trotting, dressage and cantering in a fine, second to none riding ring. Incidentally, when the school was established in 1923, it was home to some of the finest horses in the city.

SPORTS OVERVIEW

Our school loves its sports! We frolic on the football fields and diligently aim in the shooting gallery. We dunk the ball on the basketball court and ride the horses with ease and grace. HPS Begumpet has always been on the forefront of sports and physical activities. Our students have made the schools and their families very proud by participating in and winning many tournaments over the decades.

ATHLETICS

Eight bio-motor abilities are developed over the course of athletics training.

  • Strength
  • Power
  • Endurance
  • Speed

BASKETBALL

Basketball, like any other sport, requires hard skill development through intentional focus and repetition of acts like shooting, ball handling and offensive skills.

SWIMMING

While being a transformative and meditative experience, water adds resistence so swimming adds to strength training. It takes more muscle strength to move arms and legs through water. Swimming develops muscles and motor skills and helps improve co-ordination.

SHOOTING

Shooting builds physical and mental discipline. Increased strength, stamina, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills come with the package. Arm strength, focus, better eyesight are great bonuses! Personal responsibility is taught through shooting sports, while promoting liberty, encouraging courage and confidence and spiking the child’s adrenaline.
