Message From Head Of Sports
“
Excellence in sports is encouraged at Habib Public School and it is in the school’s history to produce top level sportspersons and athletes. The infrastructure of the school ensures children get to experience top class facilities.
The sports program at HPS places students in different sports in junior sections to build their athletic ability and give them a chance to explore a variety of sports. The athletic and physical development of children is the prime focus in the junior section sports program. General physical skills like speed, strength, coordination, agility, reactions and flexibility are developed at these ages. An all around approach to sports exploration during the younger ages are encouraged and students try their hand at multiple sports before they head over to the senior sections.
In the senior sections, students are encouraged to be selective and pick a sport to specialize. The coaching staff is available for the students. The staff is competent to guide and train students to compete and win in inter house, inter school and other local competitions. School competitions give the platform for students to showcase their sports skills under a competitive environment. Intangible skills such as leadership, teamwork, camaraderie and determination are forged during competitions.
HPS takes pride in its sporting history and its role in the sporting history of Pakistan as numerous international athletes have been made in these grounds. HPS aims to help Pakistan regain its status on the world stage by producing the next generation of superstars.
The new sports program takes on a holistic approach; it is not focused just on sports skills but on an overall athletic development which will make HPS students stand out on every sporting field. Development of speed, strength, agility and a will to win as Habibians will make us successful in every sporting arena.
Sincerely,
“
