The event will see over 6000 sportspersons from 263 schools, from Mumbai and its adjoining districts, coming together at one venue and competing in basketball, handball, volleyball, swimming, squash, badminton, tennis, table tennis and judo.


Three squash courts, a basketball court, a handball field, a volleyball court, four tennis courts and a 50x25m swimming pool have been refurbished for the inter-school Olympics.
