Our Story
Our journey began with a vision to bring elite sports infrastructure to rural India. Originally established in 2018, the academy operated successfully until 2020, when operations were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Resilient and more committed than ever, we re-established ourselves in April 2024 as a registered public charitable organization with the Punjab Government. Today, we are rebuilding stronger, providing free coaching, equipment, and career pathways for the youth of Punjab.
Our Mission & Vision
Empowering Rural Talent We are breaking the myth that tennis is only for the elite. In our first phase alone, we provided free coaching to 70 rural children, supplying them with tennis rackets and shoes at no cost.
Education & Employment We view sports as a gateway to a secure future. Our unique College Student Program supports B.A. and B.Com students by:
-
Providing free training to become certified tennis coaches.
-
Paying their college fees until post-graduation.
-
Assuring them a job as a tennis coach within the academy if they do not secure other employment.
Global Excellence We identify and sponsor top-ranking talent for the international stage. Our academy has sponsored players like Neeraj Yashpaul (Chandigarh No. 1) and Sahira Singh (Punjab No. 1) for ITF tournaments in Turkey and beyond.
