Sports competitions in schools have always been an integral part of the education system. Besides providing a platform for students to showcase their athletic abilities, it also fosters a sense of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. With the growing emphasis on holistic education, sports competitions have become even more crucial. They offer a refreshing break from academic pressures and help students develop essential life skills that go beyond the classroom. Keeping in line with that thought, the Delhi Public School Ghaziabad Society (DPSG Society) is launching DPSG Cup 2023 in Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Faridabad and Dehradun.
The launch will take place in four districts for cricket, football and basketball for boys and girls in the inaugural edition.

For the first time in school sports, the DPSG Cup will introduce prize money for ‘Best Coaches’. attractive prizes for ‘Winners’ & ‘Most Valuable Player’ awards in 17 tournaments.
