About Featured
We don't just run standard sessions; our trials are an intense evaluation of your game. You will go through 120-180 minutes of rigorous assessment—starting with passing squares and dribbling grids to test your technical control, followed by high-intensity, small-sided games where our AFC-licensed coaches evaluate your decision-making and match intelligence under pressure.
We are a professional club committed to building 'total footballers' who can compete at the highest levels of Karnataka football. Whether you are aiming for our U14-U18 I-League youth teams or the Senior Super Division squad, our selection process is built on merit and technical transparency.
The Selection Process
We look for players who have grit, tactical awareness, and match experience. If you have played in the AIFF Youth I-League, KSFA leagues, or the Reliance Development League, we want to see you on the pitch. Our coaching staff, led by Technical Director Othallo Tabia, focuses on more than just natural ability; they look for players who fight for every ball and understand our team-first philosophy.
Facilities and Training
You will be assessed at pro-grade artificial turf facilities, including Sports Web in Kothanur and RBANM’s Ground in Ulsoor. We believe in providing a professional environment, which is why we incorporate video analysis and individual development plans into our training regime. This ensures that when you join our ranks, you are learning the modern game, not just playing it.
Scholarships and Pathway
Financial barriers should not stop raw talent. We offer scholarships for standout players who demonstrate the right attitude and skill during trials, ensuring that the best players represent the Lions, regardless of their background. Our goal is simple: take you from the trial day to the professional squad, providing a clear pathway through competitive leagues and elite youth setups. Bring your Aadhar card for verification, show up with intensity, and prove you belong in our squad.
