This maiden edition of the Sancta Maria Annual Sports Meet began with an eclectic mix of nerves, excitement and a culmination of days and nights of preparation by the sports team of Sancta Maria International School. Twelve teams from twelve schools around Hyderabad, making up a total of 230 young sports boys and girls alongside their coaches lined up on the soccer pitch on Tuesday, 26th August 2014, for the launching ceremony of the games.
One could savour the moment with a feeling of satisfaction as one as the Principal addresses the audience and welcomed the participating schools . The event was kick started when Captains of various teams co released a beautiful bunch of blue and white balloons. Enthusiasm and effervescence was rekindled as the participants watched the balloons scale the height of the SMIS buildings into the bright sky, announcing the start of the games. Competing in different sporting categories including the under 12 football boys; under 14 and 16 badminton boys and girls; under 14 and 16 lawn tennis boys; and the under 14, 17 and 19 table tennis boys, master pieces of talents could be seen skilfully executed across the different pitches on the SMIS campus.
For two days, deadlocks were broken, new champions established and new friends made. The flair of the games busted out in to a blast as the joy of winning bubbled through junior fans right up to the adults. The meet definitely provided a platform to build a sporting spirit in the students, an avenue to display their physical prowess and an opportunity for the SMIS sports team to show case their hands on experience in the organization of annual meets.
To crown it all, trophies, medals and certificates of participation were awarded to the winners and runners-up during the closing ceremony on Wednesday, 27th August 2014.
