Two major changes have taken effect with this circular:

  1. Introduction of New Sports: Volleyball and Basketball have been officially added to the CCSCSB's roster at the Vinay Marg Ground.
  2. Fee Revision: The monthly rates for Cricket and Football coaching have been updated by the Board.

Practical Implications for Employees

Parents seeking to enroll their children must take note of the specific age brackets. For instance, a child cannot be enrolled in Football if they are under 8 years old, whereas Cricket and Lawn Tennis accept children from age 6. Furthermore, parents need to manage logistics based on seasonal timing shifts; both Volleyball and Basketball have separate summer and winter schedules.
