There is a widespread belief that sports and academics cannot go together. If one were to compete at an international level, one needs to dedicate oneself full-time to sport. How can a school help?
At Genesis Global School Noida, we are firm believers that sports and academics can complement each other working together to shape well-rounded individuals. Our goal is to create a balanced environment where students can thrive in both their studies and sports. Here’s how we support this-
Flexible Academic Schedules: We provide tailored academic plans for students competing at national and international levels. This flexibility enables them to follow their sporting passions without sacrificing their education.
Comprehensive Support System- Genesis offers academic mentorship alongside professional sports coaching. Our teachers collaborate with student-athletes to ensure they stay on top of their studies even when they miss classes for training or competitions.
Cutting-Edge Facilities- With top-tier sports infrastructure and experienced coaches, students receive high-quality training right on campus. This eliminates the need for external training centers and allows more time for in house training (BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM).
Holistic Development- Through time management workshops and counseling we help students strike a healthy balance between sports and academics, equipping them with essential life skills for both on and off the field.
Scholarships and Recognition- We acknowledge and reward outstanding talent by offering sports scholarships and recognizing achievements. This motivates students to pursue excellence in both academics and sports. At Genesis Global School we nurture an environment where students are empowered to reach their full potential in both academics and sports, preparing them for success on the global platform.

Can you share your thoughts on- How to produce more sportspersons in all fields apart from cricket?

We offer a wide range of sports such as shooting, badminton, fencing, tennis, swimming, football, karate, gymnastics and basketball among student community. Each of these sports is given equal weightage with dedicated coaches, infrastructure and time allocated for learning.
