Thursday Sports at Prep School: Shaping Future Athletes
Aitchison College Preparatory School schedules its sports every Thursday. It is a new start with two sessions of sports in the first half of the day. This system adequately caters to our boys' interests in sports and trains them to be fine players. By focusing on the cricket ball and striking it hard with the English Willow bat, dribbling the football towards the goal post, swinging their rackets in the air, jumping high to net the ball in the basket, and propelling themselves in the turquoise water of the school pool. It all boosts their morale and expands their energy, turning them into the best future players.
