About Academy Events & Achievements
Our inauguration at the Panvel Municipal Corporation facility was about setting the right tone. When government officials and cricket stakeholders come together, it signals a commitment to structured, consistent coaching for local talent.
Events like these are not just photo opportunities. They mark the arrival of international-standard infrastructure in a local neighborhood. We focus on discipline, and that starts with the facilities. Whether it is the floodlights for evening practice or the turf wickets designed for specific match simulations, we want every student to have the right tools. My goal is to build a culture where young players from areas like Panvel no longer have to commute to central Mumbai to find a proper ground or coaching team. The support from the local administration allows us to bring our 'Sweat, Drill, Repeat' philosophy closer to where these boys live. You will find that our academy remains focused on the basics: balance, footwork, and mental toughness. This center is built to host our full range of programs, from foundation skills for the younger age groups to high-performance sessions for older athletes preparing for state-level cricket.
Dilip Vengsarkar
I am on the ground because I believe in passing the torch. When we open a new center, it is to ensure young players get the same discipline and high-quality coaching I received, without needing to travel across the city.
