Sports and Games at Shield Defence College - Building Leaders through Physical Excellence

To become an officer is to become a leader of men. At Shield Defence College (SDC), our Physical Training and Sports facility provide young aspirants with the ideal opportunity to learn essential aspects of leadership such as courage, stamina, team spirit, physical fitness, mental toughness, and the will to win. Sports education has always been an integral part of the curriculum at every military training establishment, including SDC. As Nelson Mandela wisely said, "Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers."

Understanding the importance of a fit mind and body, SDC actively engages its students in sports activities, providing ample space and equipment.

Our state-of-the-art green turf serves as a versatile ground for football, volleyball, and athletics. We also have dedicated fields for football, cricket, and other games.

Additionally, a synthetic plastic-coated basketball court is available for students to enjoy.

Indoor sports facilities, including a table tennis room and a well-equipped gymnasium, cater to the diverse interests of our students. We have recently introduced a shooting range and an indoor multi-sports complex to further promote a healthy and fit lifestyle.

At SDC, every student is encouraged to participate in at least one game during their coaching tenure. Our goal is to train and equip SDCians to both play and organize various games, fostering their overall development.
