We integrate regular mental health workshops, strategy sessions, and AI video analysis to ensure our mentors are equipped to handle the psychological and tactical demands of the modern game. When you train with us, your child is being mentored by AFC-licensed professionals like Othallo Tabia and Keshav Parekh, who bring years of league-level experience to every session. ### Building Total Footballers At Bangalore City FC, we believe a coach is a mentor first and a trainer second. Our philosophy, 'Total Football,' requires players who are smart, adaptable, and confident. To build these traits, we have moved away from traditional, repetitive drills. ### Our Coaching Structure We invest heavily in our staff. Whether it is our U7 grassroots coaches or our senior squad tacticians, every member of our team is encouraged to pursue higher certifications, including AIFF and AFC licenses. - **International Mentorship:** Through our partnership with Football Events International, our coaches undergo regular workshops to stay updated with European coaching standards. - **Holistic Development:** Football is a game of decision-making. We use VEO AI video analysis during our elite performance sessions so coaches can provide objective, data-driven feedback to players. - **Mental & Tactical Fitness:** We conduct mandatory mental health workshops and whiteboard tactical sessions. We want our players to understand the 'why' behind every movement on the pitch. ### Meet the Mentors Our leadership team is comprised of individuals who have lived the game at the highest levels in India: - **Othallo Tabia (Technical Director):** An AFC A License holder with experience at Kerala Blasters and Real Kashmir FC, driving our club's tactical vision. - **Keshav Parekh (Head Coach U17/U18):** Brings expertise from the Super Division and international exposure, focusing on building conscious athletes. - **Sheheen Usman (Head Coach U15):** AFC B Licensed with deep experience in top-tier academies. We are here to create a pathway, not just a training schedule. From the very first session at our Hennur or Hegde Nagar turfs, your child is treated as part of the BCFC family. ## About Bangalore City FC At Bangalore City FC, we are a family. Our coaches are AFC-licensed professionals who know that the best development comes from balancing tough competition with genuine care for each player's growth.
