The school added another dimension to the sports facilities it offers, with the inauguaration of the new  Tennis court on 1st July 2011  in the presence of Rector Rev. Fr. Jude, Principal Rev. Fr. Bosco and Vice Principal Rev. Fr. Derrick

Mr. Sunil Sainani, the coach, explaining about the facilities spoke of the Cushion Synthetic  Lawn Tennis Court   which is as per the international standards.  He also spoke of the mini Tennis Court which is appropriate for beginners in the age group 4-7 according to their height  and weight.

The staff, who will train young budding sportsmen are themselves ace players, at the national level which is an added benefit.  Mr. Sunil soon with his staff is going tie up with 'The Sports Authority of India' which increases their credibility.

Hoping to see many of our students avail of this golden opportunity.  It is heartening to see people from neighbouring areas of all age groups learning   the game and enjoying it too.

I would like to thank the administrators of the Don Bosco High School, Borivali (our 1st training centre) and Matunga for having been kind enough to allow Indian Chess School to open an InternationalStandard Chess School at its premises. This endeavor will help us to bring Chess lessons into the classes, build a special Chess classroom pertaining to the international standards where the most gifted students will get the best opportunities to pursue the game intensively and achieve Chess excellence!!

The Indian Chess School is powered Mr. Praful Zaveri, who has trained more than 2000 children over a period of 15-years. Based on his performance at the Singapore International Chess Convention 2007, FIDE (World Chess Federation) he has been bestowed the title of "FIDE  Instructor" (FI). Incidentally, Praful Zaveri is the 1st Indian to obtain the title of 'FI'.
