Featured Highlights: Sports Coaching & Academy
A look at our journey through squash, pickleball, and sports facility development. Explore our coaching programs, tournament highlights, and the community we’re building.
Here is a look at a typical training day with me and Coach Umesh. I believe in hands-on, personalized coaching to help every player, like this young athlete, improve their form, footwork, and on-court decision-making.
It is an honor to have champions like Saurav Ghosal, a former World No. 10, share their journey with us. In this exclusive conversation, he talks about how he got started and what it feels like to represent India on the world stage.
Nothing makes me prouder than seeing the positive impact of our coaching. Hear directly from parents and our young athletes about their experiences, the well-organized tournaments, and the supportive community we have built together.
A proper grip is the foundation of every shot in squash. Here, I break down one of the most common mistakes beginners make, the "hammer grip," and demonstrate the correct technique to ensure you have better control and power.
This is what hard work and dedication look like. I am incredibly proud to celebrate the winners of our Challenger Circuit tournament. Their success is a testament to their commitment on and off the court.
Squash is not just about serious drills; it is also about having fun. Watch some of our young stars take a break from the court to answer a few rapid-fire questions about their favorite shots, foods, and more.
I am thrilled to announce that we are expanding our coaching to include two of the world's fastest-growing racket sports. Get ready to hit the court with our new pickleball and padel training sessions, designed for all ages and skill levels.
Experience the energy and intensity of our Challenger Circuit tournament. This is where our players put their training into practice, showcasing their skills and sportsmanship in a competitive, supportive environment.
I believe that talent can take you far, but mental toughness takes you all the way. My coaching focuses on building the mindset of a champion by teaching players how to handle pressure, stay resilient, and maintain focus.
I started SportsXL in 2019 with a passion to make a real impact on sports in India. Here, our founder Rhea Bhandare shares the story behind our mission to develop sports from the grassroots level up, through academies, events, and infrastructure.
About Featured
Our work spans the entire sports ecosystem, from designing professional-grade squash courts to running grassroots training academies. Whether you are refining your technique with a senior coach or stepping onto a pickleball court for the first time, our approach combines tactical rigor with accessible, community-driven training.
We started in 2019 to bridge the gap between passion and opportunity. What began as a focus on high-performance squash coaching has expanded into a full-scale sports management ecosystem. We don’t just train athletes; we build the arenas they play in. Our facility construction vertical manages projects from the initial sketch to the final court handover, ensuring quality standards across the country.
On the court, we focus on technical precision. Our squash modules—ranging from junior academy programs to private 1-on-1 sessions—emphasize fundamentals like the correct grip transition and footwork, moving beyond repetitive drills to real match simulation. We have recently introduced pickleball and padel clinics, specifically designed to be inclusive and social for all ages. Our commitment to the sport is evident in the Challenger Circuit tournaments we host, which provide a competitive platform for juniors and amateurs to test their skills in a professional setting. We operate across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area and beyond, focusing on providing a consistent, high-energy environment for everyone from young beginners to seasoned players.
