Our Grassroots Squash Mission in Uttarakhand
Beyond the city courts, we are taking squash into the heart of the mountains. We bring elite training to the hills and open the game to local talent, blending high-altitude conditioning with community growth.
This video explains the 'why' behind our mission. It details our vision to create champions, leverage the natural fitness of children in high-altitude areas, and use squash as a tool for college admissions and career opportunities.
An inside look at the new glass-back squash courts we built in the village of Janglia Gaon. This high-performance facility was established to nurture grassroots talent and create a hub for squash in the region, inspired by the sport's inclusion in the 2028 LA Olympics.
Highlights from Day 1 of our High Performance Camp in the hills. This camp serves a dual purpose: intensive training for our academy students and an introductory program for the local village children, helping us find the next generation of champions.
About Our Grassroots Mission
We do not just visit these mountains for the clean air; we use the high-altitude environment to push our academy students' physical limits while simultaneously running introductory programs for local village children. Every camp here is a mix of intensive technical drills for our national-level competitors and a search for raw talent that we can nurture, proving that elite squash training can happen anywhere.
The core of our Grassroots Mission in Janglia Gaon, Uttarakhand, is about redefining where squash can happen. When we built these glass-back courts in the hills, we had two goals: create a high-performance hub for our city-based academy students and give village children a legitimate sporting chance.
High-Altitude Performance
For our competitive players, this location is a game-changer. High-altitude training significantly boosts cardiovascular capacity and endurance. We structure these camps as intensive, full-day immersions. Students get away from the distractions of the city and focus entirely on the 'Total Squash' method—technical drills, ghosting patterns, and tactical game theory. We periodize these camps to ensure players peak for the national circuit and major tournaments.
Bringing Squash to the Community
This isn't just a private training ground. We introduce local children to the sport through structured introductory sessions. We provide the gear and the instruction, showing them that the path to state or national representation starts with a single swing. With squash officially included in the 2028 LA Olympics, the stakes have never been higher, and we want kids from every corner of India to have a path to that global stage.
The Path to Success
Whether it is preparing a student for Ivy League squash admissions or helping a village child find a career in sports, our approach remains the same. We focus on discipline, regular assessments by our senior coaches, and a belief that talent is everywhere if you are willing to look for it. If you want to know how our high-altitude training can fit into your tournament schedule or how our grassroots programs operate, we are happy to chat about the specifics.
