 SPACE MANAGEMENT
• Lack of space in schools is often touted
as a reason for not conducting the in-
school PE/school sports program.

• mistake of confusing sports with match

play and visualize large grounds when
we think of sport.

• We need to divide activity in to Fitness,

skills and match play. Internationally,
80% of time is to be spent on
developing fitness and skills required to
play the game better.
• For this, we need to have a small corner
of the ground and never the whole field
