From the indoor video games and movies in the air-conditioned rooms to outdoor games under scorching sun now, it has been a sensational change for the Chennai school students.
After two years of the Coronavirus pandemic that stopped various sports activities in the schools, the school grounds in Chennai are now buzzing with students.
Point is that the sports activities just began in February in the schools in Chennai and this has brought huge relief for many students. According to the coaches, in the teenage only basics are shaped by the students. At this age only, initial direction towards professional pursuits would be there. It is a well known fact that in Chennai the school cricket forms the basis for entry of a student in the college team and then in the state cricket team etc.
Now, parents, coaches and students are feeling excited about the resumption of the under-14 B. Somasundaram Trophy. It was later mentioned by a father of a school student that TNCA was moving in the right direction as a host for the popular U-14 tournament. He highlighted that two precious years have been lost due to Covid-19 pandemic and the boys would have to start from the beginning. Absence of the physical activities has led to some bad habits in the students now and this must be corrected immediately.
Former TN cricketer, Mr. M.A. Sathish Kumar spoke about how the u-19 players took time to get back into the groove and how under 14 players would be dealt with a less harsh approach. The students must enjoy the game of cricket and this would be the priority. He then added that by stopping learning for 2 years then we would forget everything. Coaches have been trying their best to motivate and take the passion of the students back to the pre pandemic levels.
There is still fear of Coronavirus even now and many parents have been hesitating to send their kids for practice. Communicating with the boys to know about their mental state is very important now. The truth is that without any physical activity for more than 2 years, the stamina of the students has reduced a lot.
