Sports
Due importance is attached to the physical development of the young students. Facilities are provided to students to play various games and sports so that their ability is exposed & scanned. That is how they are selected to form College Teams. These teams then go to play friendly and competitive matches designated as annual fixtures against sister institutions like Abbottabad Public School, Army Burn Hall College Abbottabad, Cadet College Hassanabdal and Aitchison College Lahore. Besides they play inter house league matches to win trophies for Hockey, Football, Athletics, and Cricket. The entire college runs a Marathon Race every year with an organized one months practice. The state of the art Jamali Stadium has added yet another dimension to the layout of the campus. It is here that the annual Sports and Founders’ Days are organized for the award of trophies and shields to winners and the best house is declared the “Champion House” with the award of the Quaid e Azam shield.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“In the end, I think you really only get as far as you’re allowed to get.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
“Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
And desolation saddens all thy green;
One only master grasps the whole domain,
And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
“Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.”
—Lesley Visser, U.S. sports reporter and announcer. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 82 (June 17, 1991)
