School Sports room

Sports room generally are dumps...dumps of sports equipment lying in cupboards. There is nothing else to a sports room. Saw an interesting sports room at Shikar Shishu Sadan in the town of Dhampur in Western UP.

The sports room had a number of miniature models of courts of various sports - volley ball, badminton etc. Also there was a map of fielding positions in cricket. It made the room interesting. Though it hardly makes a difference if you know where the third slip is...you need to know how to take a 'catch' there. Nevertheless...it makes sports interesting.
