Kho-Kho : Kho-Kho is a tag sport from the Indian Sub-continent. Each team consists of twelve players, but only nine players take the field for a contest, who try to avoid being touched by members of the opposing team. It is one of the most popular traditional tag game, apart from Kabaddi. The origin of Kho-Kho is difficult to trace, but man historians believe, that it is a modified form of ‘Run Chase’, which in its simplest form, means¬chasing and touching a person.

Polo : Polo is a team sport played on the horse back. The objective is to score goals against an opposing team. Players score by driving a small white plastic or wooden ball into the opposing team’s goal using a long-handled mallet. The traditional sport of polo is played on a grass field upto 300 by 160 yards. Each polo team consists of four riders and their mounts.
