Parent Sports Collective at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad: A Year of Fitness, Community and Friendly Competition

At Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad, we believe that a strong school community is built not only through learning in classrooms but through shared experiences beyond them. The Parent Sports Collective, an initiative by the Parent Partnership Office, encourages parents to stay active, connect with one another, and celebrate the joy of sport together.

Throughout the year, each quarter featured a sport exclusively for parents, fostering fitness, camaraderie, and friendly competition.

Quarter 1 began with the Parents Table Tennis Tournament, which saw enthusiastic participation from around 65 parents competing across Men’s and Women’s categories. The event was marked by spirited matches and an atmosphere of friendly rivalry. Mr. Anoop Gautam emerged as the Men’s Winner, while Ms. Arti Bakshi secured the Women’s title.

Quarter 2 concluded on a high note with the Parents Badminton Tournament, bringing together nearly 85 parents competing in a League-cum-Knockout format across Men’s and Women’s Doubles categories. The courts were filled with energy and teamwork as participants showcased their skills. The Men’s Doubles title was won by Mr. Punit Madan and Mr. Yashu Bansal, while Ms. Vasundhara Nagar and Ms. Neha Singhal clinched the Women’s Doubles title.

Quarter 3 featured the much-anticipated Parents Cricket Tournament, with 120 players forming eight teams. Matches began on 31 October 2025 and continued through December, culminating in an exciting final. After a series of competitive games, SNS Vijeta, led by Captain Sunny Sapra, emerged as the champions, with players and spectators enjoying the lively spirit of the tournament.

The year concluded with Quarter 4’s Athletic Meet and a 12 km Cyclothon, where parents participated in events such as 100 m, 200 m, and 400 m races, Long Jump, and Shot Put across multiple age categories. The event celebrated endurance, enthusiasm, and sportsmanship, with parents cheering each other on and embracing the spirit of participation.

We congratulate all participants for their spirited involvement. The Parent Sports Collective continues to strengthen the partnership between school and families, reflecting the vibrant and connected community at Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad.
