We at First Citizens take sports seriously, thats why every year the school organises the "First Citizens Annual Inter House Sports" to compliment the school activities.
Sports is an elusive word, very difficult to define in absolute terms. Experience has shown that there are as many definitions of sports as there are educational philosophers.
Sports could be defined in a number of ways such as the ones below.
Well round development of a person physically, mentally, socially and emotionally through acquisition of skills.
The slow and skilful process of extracting latest potentialities of comprehension via sports.
In order words, exercise could be described as a feeling of well being that results from experiences in which the individual receives a pleasurable and gratifying response to the use of his physical, mental or creative powers.
It is not a static thing but a vital force influencing the lives of people. Therefore, it is a matter of public, private and school concern that sports opportunities be available for all the people including the students.
However, this has not been over-looked in the lives of First Citizen's College students as various departments had been developed in relation to students and staff needs.
- Ball games department – it sees to all ball games activities such as soccer, baseball, volleyball, handball etc.
- Physical and psychology skills such as gymnastics and physical fitness of students.
- Athletics department: This area trains students to become world-class best athletes both in field and track events
- Aquatics sports - specializes in training students to have passion for water activities
-
Exercise philosophy: In this department, need to recreate and relax the mind after one’s daily stress is encouraged for optimal performance.
