As a part of the inaugural programme, an exhibition match of Sepak takraw was also held.

Remarkably, the players who started off from the club have brought laurels by winning medals at the National and international platforms such as Asian Games etc.

In view of the dedicated efforts of the young players, the club sought the attention of the authorities concerned of the Government to construct an indoor hall or stadium so that the players do not miss practice due to erratic weather conditions.
