The criterion for selection varies depending on the sport, the instructor and the number of people who turn up for the try-outs. In many cases, it is not essential to have prior experience in the sport to get selected. For instance, in Tennis, the selection is based on stamina. In basketball, on the other hand, it depends on the student’s ability to dribble and do a lay-up. Some sports are tougher to get selected into as compared to others. Racquet sports, for instance, see tough competition owing to restrictions due to infrastructure.

Practice sessions usually start after Quiz 1. Practices are held for about 2 hrs twice a week in the odd semester and thrice a week in the even semester. The criterion for passing is a minimum of 85% attendance. Note that the player’s performance has absolutely no say in ‘passing’.

Professional coaches train the students in every sport, starting from scratch. The level of skill players develop at the end of one year depends greatly on their initiative and enthusiasm to learn. Some of the students go on to get selected into the institute team. This is a prestigious opportunity to represent the Institute in the GGSIP University Sports Meet that happens at the end of the odd/even semester.
