BASKETBALL
The game of basketball is a game of accepting failure; of accepting imperfections; of realizing that the perfect game has never been played, never will be played, or ever could be played.
- Tony Alphonso
Basketball is a game that involves movement of the entire body. The students learn the art of team-spirit and acceptance through this team game. We at DPSG, make sure that students not only play the game, rather understand it through teamwork and perseverance. The sport welcomes integration of the syllabi as students apply their knowledge while understanding the game. Many students have excelled the game and represented our school at various levels.

Football trains all your physical abilities. It keeps you both physically and mentally fit. It increases cognitive brain function as concentration is one of the most crucial parts of playing football. It's a physically demanding game that provides an opportunity for students to improve their speed, agility, strength, hand-eye coordination and overall cardiovascular endurance.

Its innate ability to cease the mental chatter and live in the moment reduces stress and anxiety, showing profound benefits in every sphere of life. It helps students to deal with their stress and bring back some peace of mind. Those who regularly practice yoga not only report lower levels of stress and anxiety and subsequently improved academic performance.
