BPP athletes once again made their mark at the All Parsee Jal Pardiwala Athletic meet held on 4th and 5th February, 2016 at the University Grounds. Individual Age-group Championships were swept away by five BPP girl athletes namely, Nayomi Sirvala (Under-8 Category), Sherry Farog and Spanishta Kasad (Under-10 Category), Tanya Vakil (Under-12 Category) and Tania Nava (Under-16 Category). Pervez Irani was awarded the Individual Championship in the Boys Under-10 Category.

All these athletes have been training under the Bombay Parsi Punchayat Athletic Coaching Scheme every evening at the Sir Ness Wadia Memorial Pavilion ground at Rustom Baug under BPP Coaches, Dara Doomasia, Jungoo Sholapurwala and Khushnaaz General. Parsi Times caught up with BPP Coach Dara Doomasia, who said, “We have coaching Parsi children every evening and on any particular day we usually have around 25 to 30 children training with us.  We are now concentrating on training extremely young children, mostly between the ages of 5 to 10 years, as they are extremely punctual and regular and showcase immense dedication and potential. We have more Parsi girls than boys training with us, most of whom are declared the best in Maharashtra today”.
