Sports
Sports has always held great importance for the students of I.L.S (football being the most popular by far), and there was no major organized sports movement until the appearance of Mrs Nandal, who managed to organize a sports week, in which all the houses go up against each other in various sports such as volleyball, football, cricket, kho-kho, basketball, table tennis etc. To facilitate the sports scene, I.L.S purchased a compound at 8, orimeji street, which has been converted into a sports complex of sorts. It has facilities for football, badminton and table tennis. The school plans to develop more facilities for the benefit of students and sports in the foreseeable future. Since the past few years ILS has had a Sports Committee, which discharges various sporting duties for development and maintenance with the guidance of the current Sports Teacher, Mrs. Seema Mishra. I.L.S participates in many inter-school tournaments, and has won quite a few. Students of ILS have made their name in many sports, particularly Basketball, Table Tennis, Cricket and Chess. National Trophies have been won in all these sports, while players have also made their name internationally in Basketball and Cricket.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“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)
“Come, my Celia, let us prove
While we may the sports of love;
Time will not be ours forever,
He at length our good will sever.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
