CRICKET
[10-overs-a-side]

▪ Each team can bowl a maximum of 10 overs, which results in batsmen attacking right from the first
ball. T10 gives very little time for batsmen to settle down and demands new strategies, and an
aggressive approach in order to get a decent total on the scoreboard, thus adding to the thrill and
excitement.
▪ Each team must complete their quota of 10 overs in 45 minutes.
▪ Two overs per bowler
▪ No bowler can bowl more than two overs in an innings.

KHO-KHO

▪ Sitting chaser is not allowed to obstruct the runner. If he is doing so, runner will be not out if touched
by the active chaser.
▪ Chaser team will get 1 point for every out of runner. Runner’s sequence cannot be changed during an
inning.
▪ Active chaser will neither touch nor cross the central line.
▪ If a runner crosses the boundaries completely, the runner is given out.
▪ Active chaser will have to run in the same direction. He cannot change the direction. If he goes in

 100 Meter Sprint
International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

▪ Start
Every 100-meter sprinter must begin with a set position. The set position requires the runners to
have both feet in the blocks and adopt a position with the body weight on their hands. On the starter
whistle all runners begin the race.
▪ False Start
A false start is called when the feet of a runner leave the starting blocks before the starter's whistle.
Lanes the width of a lane is specified .75 meter approximately.
Any 100-meter sprinter who leaves her lane or obstructs the path of another sprinter will be
automatically disqualified from the race.

Stepping on the white lines is ruled as having left your lane during the race. In these circumstances,
the race referee can order the race to be run over again if it is deemed necessary.

▪ Finish
The finish is the decisive stage of the race, and is very exciting when sprinters are close to each other
in terms of ability. The IAAF rules state that the time of a runner is recorded when the trunk of the
body crosses the finish line..

Relay Race
[400-Meter]

▪ Equipment
The relay baton is a smooth, hollow, one-piece tube made of wood, metal or another rigid material. It
measures between 28 and 30 centimeters long and between 12 and 13 centimeters in circumference.
The baton must weigh at least 50 grams.
▪ The Start
begin in the starting blocks, which are marked on the track.
The other relay runners begin on their feet when they receive the baton in the passing zone.

runners must have both hands and at least one knee touching the ground and both feet in the starting
blocks. Their hands must be behind the starting line.
The race begins with the “GO” or Whistle. Runners are permitted only one false start and are
disqualified after a second false start.
▪ Relay Rules
The baton can only be passed within the exchange zone, which is 5 meters long. Exchanges made
outside the zone result in disqualification. Passers must remain in their lanes after the pass to avoid
blocking other runners.

 The baton must be carried by hand. If it is dropped, the runner can leave the lane to retrieve the

Skipping

• Only for female participants

• Each pupil holds the 2 handles of the skipping rope with the rope positioned
behind them
• The rope is then swung over the head and under the feet as the pupil jumps
upwards When the rope moves past the starting position; 1 repetition is
counted
• The number of skips in 3 minutes are recorded according as much you can
skip. Based on that 2 finalists will be shortlisted form each club and they
have to skip against each other following one specific skipping style.

Long jump

• The athlete begins running from his or her starting position and jumps,
landing in a sand pit. There is a foul line, in the run-up area, that the athlete
has to be aware of;
• Jumping from beyond this line results in a 'foul jump'. Jumpers try to get as
close to the foul line as legally possible before initiating their jump.
• No part of the athlete's foot should cross the front edge of the foul line. If, at
the point of take-off, any part of his foot crosses the front edge of the foul
line, then the jump is termed to be illegal or a 'foul jump', and does not
count.
• The long jumper has 2 attempts to register his or her best legal jump
condition applied. A foul jump accounts for an attempt. Only the farthest
legal jump counts.
• The distance or the 'jump' is measured from the front edge of the foul line to
the first landing point of the athlete, from the first point of contact.
