Sports AS a way of life<br />
The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields<br />
of Eton. – Arthur Wellesly, Duke of Wellington<br />
The character built on the playing fields at NDA<br />
has contributed in no small measure to the fact<br />
that its alumni have, time and again, earned glory<br />
on the battlefield.<br />
At the Academy, sports is not limited to team<br />
events; excellence in individual sports is also<br />
encouraged. Cadets are encouraged to take up<br />
karate, boxing, squash, tennis, yoga, basketball,<br />
volleyball, hockey, football, athletics and<br />
swimming for those with the right skills and<br />
aptitude.<br />
A cadet is encouraged to participate in at least one<br />
sport each term and cannot graduate unless he<br />
learns the rudiments of at least two games which<br />
will enable him to play with his troops. Cadets<br />
who excel in various physical activities and sports<br />
are awarded with proficiencies in the order of<br />
Merit Card, Half Blue, Blue and a Blazer.<br />
