About Youth Football Academy (U7-U17)
We’ve built a football academy that feels like home, but pushes you hard. Our motto - Vega. Shaurya. Vijaya. (Speed. Courage. Victory.) - isn’t just for show, it’s what we live by every day.
The Red Lions Story
Started back in 2009, we’ve seen it all - big wins, tough losses, and everything in between. What matters is you get up, fight, and grow. At our academy, you’re not a roll number. You become part of the family.
What Training Feels Like
- Training is tough, but fair. We’ll challenge you, but you’ll always have support. Coaches have over 20 years’ experience, some with AFC 'A' Licenses. But more than certificates, they care - avaru namge support madthare (they always have our back).
- We focus hard on technical stuff - passing, dribbling, shooting - till it’s automatic.
- Smart play matters too. You’ll learn to read the game, not just run after the ball.
- Discipline is big here. Most kids turn up 45 minutes early just to get in the zone.
Pathway to Pro Football
With us, it’s not just training and matches. There’s a real player development pathway - youth teams (U7-U17), then senior teams, and a shot at big leagues like the Youth Premier League Bangalore. A few have even made it to pro football trials for youth and beyond.
Who Can Join?
Boys and girls from U7 to U17. If you love football and want to take it seriously, you’ll fit right in.
Kick off your journey with us and see if you’re ready for the grind.

My Story
We’re BTM Football Club - the Red Lions. Started way back in 2009, always fighting, always coming back. Sixteen years for our first final, and man, that win felt like magic. Not always easy, we’ve had our share of heartbreaks, but Vega, Shaurya, Vijaya - that’s our spirit. Through Rush Academy, we see kids grow, some even making it to ISL clubs. Feels good, being more than a team. We’re family. Football’s our passion, always will be.
