A five-year plan to manage and develop sports would be the way forward to change the present scenario existing in schools.
The key challenge is to stop treating sports as a stop-gap arrangement and try and set up long-term regular and systematic training at the school level. This will bring the much required change in pushing up India’s hopes towards excellence in global sports.

In most schools, PE is just a limited use activity and remains secondary to the academic and curricular purpose. The effort is not towards building opportunities that are participative and inclusive but towards individual training. Can schools begin to think of PE as a goal that includes diversity, team spirit and social interaction where children learn to enjoy, bond and share?

Regular physical activity either on the playfield or in an indoor hall is vital to developing the health and social bonding of children. Before conducting any class, the physical educator needs to plan the lesson according to the ability of the children. The fitness levels change according to the age, sex, activity levels of the class.

What approach shall we take for physical education? Should it be movement education or sports education or fitness education or a mix of these or something else? Each takes up one part of development or developmental need and some can only fit at different levels of the school curriculum.

A recent UNICEF and Barça Foundation report, ‘Understanding the evidence for child-focused sport for development’, features beautiful pictures of children playing. There is happiness and enjoyment, determination and focus on the faces of these young people photographed in India and other places like Athens, Kenya, Congo, Laos, Paraguay, Barcelona, Ecuador, and Nepal.

In this article I am going to take you through my journey as an athletics coach. I will talk about physical fitness as well as other “substantive aspects” of physical education – emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual – which, if rightly taught will help in the holistic development of every child.
