The Legacy of DAV Sports

The roots of DAV Sports trace back to 1926 with the establishment of the Aryan Tournament, before the partition of India. Although initially discontinued due to logistical challenges, the tournament was successfully revived in 1960. DAV Sports, a flagship initiative of the DAV College Managing Committee New Delhi, aims to maximize the athletic potential of DAVians, providing opportunities to compete on national and international platforms. The organization has expanded over the years, adding zones and streams to accommodate a wider range of schools and competition levels.

As DAV Sports continues to evolve, its commitment to nurturing young athletes and promoting sportsmanship remains steadfast.
