In its continuous pursuit of innovation in sports, Lancers International School has proudly introduced the globally celebrated game of Lacrosse to its students and the wider Delhi NCR community. By bringing lacrosse in school to the forefront, Lancers is not just expanding its sports curriculum — it’s pioneering a new athletic experience in India.
To give students firsthand exposure, the school organized a Demonstration Match in collaboration with the Lacrosse Association of Haryana, allowing them to experience the excitement, teamwork, and technique of this fast-paced global game up close. What unfolded that day was far more than just a sporting event; it was a reflection of Lancers’ enduring vision — to reimagine the athletic landscape of India through innovation and inclusivity.
For many in attendance, the sight of lacrosse sticks clashing mid-air and the swift movement of players across the turf was an entirely new experience. The event was thoughtfully designed to introduce Lacrosse in India — familiarizing students with the rules, rhythm, and spirit of a sport that blends speed, strategy, and teamwork like no other.
Two visiting student teams — Team Jind and Team Rohtak — took to the field in an exhilarating display of skill and coordination that showcased both the athleticism and discipline lacrosse demands. Team Jind featured talented players such as Ashish Goyat (Captain), selected to represent India at the upcoming Asian Lacrosse Games in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (November 17–22, 2025), alongside Vice-Captain Nitin Balda, Goalkeeper Vinit, and other national and state-level players including Devvart Shahu, Angad Lohan, Tanvir, Chirag Chahal, and Uday. The team was guided by Coach Mandeep Sheokand, under the supervision of officials Mr. Ravinder Kumar, Ms. Khushboo Malik (also selected for the Indian team for the Asian Games), and Mr. Nishant Indora.
Their opponents, Team Rohtak, brought equal energy and sportsmanship to the field, represented by national and state-level athletes such as Sahil, Sushant, Ashwini, Samrat, Sanskar, Ansh, Vansh, and Saim, led by Coach Manish Kumar, General Secretary, District Rohtak.
The match evolved into a thrilling showcase of lacrosse in India — a game that captivated everyone present through its precision, teamwork, and spirit of competition. Beyond the thrill of the match, it provided Lancers students with a deeper lesson in athleticism and global exposure.
Throughout the event, students engaged directly with players and coaches, learning about lacrosse techniques — from passing and positioning to strategy, coordination, and endurance. This interactive learning extended beyond physical skills; it fostered an understanding of the mindset, dedication, and discipline that define professional athletes representing India on international platforms.
At Lancers International School, sports are not just extracurricular — they are a cornerstone of the school’s holistic education philosophy. Every new initiative represents a step toward building global perspectives, resilience, and curiosity. Introducing lacrosse in school is another testament to Lancers’ mission of offering diverse sporting opportunities that inspire students to explore new horizons.
In a country where traditional sports dominate, Lancers is driving a powerful shift — fostering inclusivity in athletics and introducing young learners to emerging global sports like lacrosse that demand both intellect and agility.
As the final whistle blew, the energy on the field lingered, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who witnessed the game. The event wasn’t just about watching a sport — it was about igniting a passion and planting the seeds for a new chapter of lacrosse in India, starting right here at Lancers International School, Gurugram, a leading IB World School shaping the future of sports innovation.
At Lancers, every sport tells a story of learning, leadership, and global connection. With lacrosse, that story has become even more dynamic, diverse, and inspiring — a true celebration of global sportsmanship in Indian schools.
