The countdown has begun. With just days to go, students from across Bengaluru are preparing to converge at Ekya School, ITPL for Triton 5.0, the highly anticipated interschool sports festival. Scheduled for August 28th, 29th, and 30th 2025, the event promises three days of competition, friendship, and youthful spirit at the modern sports facilities of the best school in Bangalore.
Now in its fifth edition, Triton has cemented its place on the school sports calendar as one of the city’s most anticipated sporting extravaganzas. For many young athletes from the best school in Bangalore, Triton is a stage to test their skills, showcase discipline, and experience the thrill of competing beyond their school grounds. And for spectators, it offers the chance to witness talent, teamwork, and tenacity in action.
A Showcase of Sportsmanship
Triton 5.0 will see contests in basketball, football, volleyball, throwball, and table tennis. These sports, each demanding different skill sets, reflect the breadth of talent nurtured in leading K12 schools in ITPL today.
- Football matches will follow a knockout format, with participants playing two halves of seven minutes each. Teams across three categories (Grades 12 & below, Grades 9 & below, and Grades 7 & below) will battle it out, with a ten-player roster.
- Basketball, always a crowd-puller, will feature boys’ and girls’ teams across three categories. Matches will be played in four quarters, ranging from 8 minutes for younger players to 10 minutes for seniors. The rotation system for the youngest category ensures every participant gets time on the court.
- Volleyball will bring together 12-member teams under FIVB rules, with games played over three sets of 25 points each. Teams from the best K12 schools in ITPL will be grouped into two age brackets: Grades 12 & below and Grades 10 & below.
- Throwball, a sport with a growing following, will feature two categories for girls—Grades 12 & below and Grades 8 & below. Teams of 12 will compete in three sets of 25 points each, played under TFI rules.
- Table Tennis adds a one-on-one element to the fest, where individual skill and quick reflexes come into sharp focus.
Each event will be supervised with the principle that the umpire’s decision is final, reinforcing discipline and fairness at the heart of competition.

Ekya believes that education is more than academics. By organising Triton 2025 for schools in Bangalore, we encourage sportsmanship, fitness, and holistic development among children.
Triton is a 3-day sports festival, not just a quick match or event. We’ve planned it like a real sporting carnival so learners get plenty of playtime, fair rules, and the joy of being part of a big community.
Apart from the excitement of competing, learners carry home memories, friendships, and life lessons about working hard, never giving up, and celebrating each other’s strengths.
Triton 2025 is a chance for your child to build confidence, discipline, and teamwork. The event is the platform for your child to test their skills, make new friends, and enjoy the healthy competition that shapes strong character.
Not at all! While the fest does celebrate talent, it’s also about participation and exposure for students from schools in Bangalore. Many children discover new interests and hidden strengths by simply being part of Triton.
Because Ekya believes education is incomplete without activities outside books. Sports festivals like Triton help learners balance academics with physical growth, build leadership skills, and experience joy outside the classroom.
