Sports are known for producing the most remarkable athletes, colorful characters, influential leaders and memorable heroes. A small throng of individuals with significant legacy.
The five S’s of sports training are: S – stamina, S- speed, S- strength, S- skill, S- spirit but the greatest of these is spirit.
~ Ken Doherty.
We Zionst are very good at keeping up our spirits. The first week of September has been the week of Zionist Attitude. Our children took part and played a major role in the A- Zone events conducted by Government Boys Higher Secondary School, Pattiveeranpatti. There is no doubt that women are playing major role in all fields. Zion being an epitome of women empowerment once again proved that our girls are no less than boys. They took part in various events and strode out of the campus with medals and certificates.

Jim Courier Says,
Sportsmanship for me is when a guy walks off the court and can’t really say whether he won or lost, when he carries himself with pride either way.
And that was the attitude of our boys when they strode out of the campus with medals.
