Behind the Scenes at Delhi Kabaddi Adda
Kabaddi toh jaan hai. Take a look at the reality of the mitti, the daily grind, and the bond we share at the academy. It is all about the work before the win.
A portrait of one of our academy's top defenders. We focus on creating specialized players who excel in their roles.
The work starts before we even step on the mat. Here, players are preparing the ground, showing respect for the 'mitti' where we train.

About Additional Work & Moments
Before you see a raider score a point, you see the hours of maintenance on the ground. My students learn that if you do not respect the mitti you train on, you will not respect the game. This discipline is the foundation of everything we do here.
More Than Just Training
At the Delhi Kabaddi Adda, we believe that being a pro athlete starts with taking ownership of your environment. When you see our players with rakes and shovels, it is not just maintenance work. It is a lesson in humility and focus. You cannot perform on a court you have not prepared yourself. This daily routine builds the grit that stays with you long after the match is over.
The Coach's Perspective
I wear many hats here. Whether I am guiding sessions on the ground, teaching specific moves like the dash or dubki, or serving as an official for zonal matches, my goal remains the same. I want my players to understand the game from every angle. When I interact with other teams during tournaments, I bring that knowledge back to the Adda so my players are always ready for the real pressure of a tournament.
Building a Family
We are not just a sports centre. We are a family. From sharing morning practice sessions to celebrating small victories, this community is where champions are forged. We keep it real. No shortcuts, just hard work, shared sweat, and the constant push to get better every single day. If you have the passion, we have the space for you to grow into a hero. Roksakotohroklo!
