According to the school’s Head of Extra – curricular activities, Mr Flex Adeboboye helps train children for the future. His words: “Generally, inter house sports helps to keep students fit, engenders healthy rivalry and trains them for the future. We are committed to raising sports youngsters with the international standards set by the school in sports. Sports have helped Nigeria because they have won laurels across the world. It is a segment that has pictured Nigerians in the committee of Nations. We have a structured programme for our sports development such that between 5pm and 6pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, the students come out to train and also weekends. Aside from in- house training, we also hire someone from outside to train them. They usually embark on various field and track events in order to get well rooted in them. I encourage students to build themselves on sports because in this present day, sports is more like a money spinning sector and we need to ensure students  are kept on their toes”.
