 Sprint 2013:




Sprint 2013, the annual sports event of MCOAHS is one event which is awaited the most because of its wide range of games where one can participate according to their interests. Be it the sweaty outdoor football or the tactful indoor table-tennis, be it kho-kho (a sport originated from maharashtra) or be it swimming, there's a bit of everything here. Students from different batches, and even the teachers, they all compete. Anxiety to eam spirit, unity to aggressiveness, victory to failure, it is all seen here.

Although we already have a very long list of sports activities in Sprint, we have some activities that could be added….
1. Skating

Roller skating is traveling on smooth surfaces with roller skates. It is a form of recreation as well as a sport. Skates generally come in three basic varieties: quad roller skates, inline skates/blades and tri-skates.
2. Lawn tennis

Tennis is a sport usually played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a racket that is strung to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net and into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a good return.
3. Marathon
The marathon is a long-distance running event that is usually run as a road race.
4. Hurdle race
The standard sprint hurdle race is 110 meters for men and 100 meters for women. The standard long hurdle race is 400 meters for both men and women. There are approx. 10 hurdles placed at certain distances & the runner is expected to jump over them without dropping the hurdle.

Some other fun games which could be added which are sure to bring health, fun & laughter.
1. Sack race


2. 3 legged race (where 2 participants make a team & run next to each other with one of their legs tied to the adjacent leg of the other participant)


3. Lemon 'n' spoon race


4. Food race (a plate full of food needs to be eaten while running & the one who eats all the food & reaches the end line first is the winner!)


5. How quickly can you wear clothes race (there will be t-shirts placed at certain distances & the participant needs to run, reach the t-shirt/pant, wear it over his/her clothes & run further till the next piece of clothing).
