VP Sports Carnival (Valia - Panchamia)

600 participants, 32 teams representing 4 panaromic colours, 1 venue, 24 games and 1 celebration!

No if you think it’s the National Games do think again its the VP Sports Carnival. The coming together of the Valia’s & Panchamia families (Daughter of Mr. Sudhir Valia and Son of Mr. Sandip Panchamia)!

In today’s modern era where technology is growing rapidly, face to face ‘bonding’ often takes a back seat. Active online presence is adversely impacting relationships.  The “VPSC” ( Valia Panchamia) Sports Carnival is the first one of its kind  where 600 guests of both the families played, participated, competed with each other rather than against each other. The entire motto of this event was to move from “Hum Kisi se Kum Nahin to Hum Saath Saath Hain”

The day ended with the most crazy night cricket match with a grand finale played under glorious flood flights as one felt like singing  ‘starry  starry nights“. Wild cheering for the favorite teams and players  from the grassy stands., with wilder predictions  at the matka phatka stall .For the little ones a fun filled  arena set for the carnival around the ground and with a spectacular fireworks lighting up the sky to salute the players.

Day 2:

After a grueling first day of fun filled outdoor sports, the arena moved indoors with an amazing round of innovative games.

Games include:

WATER POLO: 4 sided

A modified water polo game where all four teams enter the pool and defend their goals against the other three teams. The team with the least goals scored against wins.

WAVE POOL RELAY:

All four teams race against each other in the pool facing pressing forward against the ever rising waves. Each team member completes one lap and gets bonus points for plucking out some notes that are strung across the return line.

MUSICAL STATIONS :

Played by all four teams in the pool at the same time . A starting point is the  clue for each team to  start the game. Each corner of the pool has a placard which lists 8 pairs of stations on it. The stations are all connected to each other so that a route is formed and the original starting point is reached back. Team members have to rush from one corner of the pool to the other to connect the stations.

Another team member is jotting down the correct pairs as his team members shout it across to him. Only problem, you have all four teams shouting across the connecting pairs of stations thus compounding the confusion. First team to finish the correct pairs of stations to complete a valid route wins.

The lagoon are at Aamby Valley has never seen so much activity.

The third day saw the finals results announced and the team champion declared for the VPSC. Roaring Lions (Red) team won the league by scoring highest points.
