CENTIES
It was all happened on 22 November 2009 during a casual discussion among the physical education personnel of different engineering colleges on the occasion of a zonal athletic meet to start an association to promote sports and games among the engineering students and to carry out other sports related social activities. Initially several names were suggested by the members, then things seems to be fine with CENT Club but later it was spontaneously spelled by another member as CENTIES (Coimbatore, Erode, Nilgiris and Tirupur District Inter Engineering Sports) which sounded sweet and readily accepted by all. It was also finalized that the name of the forum as Engineering Colleges Physical Educationist Club (ECPEC) and CENTIES as its major programme. In the previous general body meeting (3/05/2018) the club name ECPEC has been changed to CENTIES from ECPEC.
The first CENTIES Championship was started during the year 2010 with two games (Volleyball men & women and Table Tennis men & women) and now it has grown with 13 events for men and 9 events for women. Now around 300 teams from CENTIES constitution colleges have registered for the recent CENTIES Championships. The annual general body meeting of the CENTIES is being held twice in a year to discus about the functioning of the CENTIES.
We believe that sports field is the place where a man learns the life skills better by dealing with varied emotions of others. It has been a great training field for every sportsman to understand the emotions of fellow human being, where mutual understanding develops irrespective of various social differences, where everyone inculcates the habit of respecting, reciprocating and appreciating the ranks of the fellow beings spontaneously without any expectation and hesitation, where the mutual trust develops thus disappears the fear and the team spirit persists. Thus the joy of togetherness stands tall and so we feel CENTIES is very important…
