What Our Programs Offer
- Specialized coaching clinics: Deep dives into specific sports, led by top national and international experts. You get both classroom learning and practical drills. For example, our swimming clinic had Arjuna Awardee Virdhawal Khade and World Aquatic Referee Joshua Joseph guiding over 70 coaches through rules, stroke theory, and pool drills.
- Niche workshops: Like our football goalkeeping session with an AIFF Level 2 instructor. If you want to sharpen a particular skill, these clinics are for you.
