The Montfort Tournaments were held at the Montfort School, Yercaud, Tamil Nadu over the August 15 weekend. Set in the Shevaroy Hills above Salem,about a 4 hour drive from Bangalore, Yercaud is a picturesque hill resort centered around a small lake, sometimes referred to as the 'poor man's Ooty'. It has several scenic points with spectacular views and some pleasant hiking trails.

The Montfort tournaments have been held annually for over 40 years and have been growing year on year. This year the tournament was well attended with over 400 students from 50 schools throughout Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, playing tennis, TT, soccer, and basketball.
Inventure Academy was ably represented in the Tennis tournament by Alisha Kalyanpur (7B) and Adil Kalyanpur (4A). Adil also participated in the Table Tennis tournament.
Alisha secured 3rd place in the girls under 12 tennis tournament, while Adil reached the quarter finals of the under 12 boys tennis, playing in a tough draw. Both Adil and Alisha playing together reached the semifinals of the under 12 doubles tournament.
