From Grassroots to Global: The Journey of Our Players
We believe squash is a way to change lives. Our players come from all backgrounds—some from small towns, some starting as total beginners—and with our Total Squash method, they rise to become national and world-class competitors.
This is the journey of a champion. We had a dream to create a world champion from India, and Shaurya Bawa dreamed with us. From his early days of training to collapsing from exhaustion, he worked hard to turn that dream into reality.
A tribute to our student, friend, and champion, Shaurya Bawa. This video captures his journey to becoming a top 3 player in the world. We are incredibly proud to be his coach.
Shaurya Bawa makes history. He became only the second Indian to reach the semi-finals of the World Junior Squash Championships, a historic moment for him and for Indian squash.

Aryan Pratap Singh's journey is a testament to our Excellence Program. He moved from Dhampur to train with us full-time and has since represented India at two World Junior Championships.
About From Grassroots to Global Stage: Player Journeys
Our Excellence Program is built for players who have the grit to go pro but need the structure to get there. We manage the entire ecosystem—from specialized nutrition plans and daily mental conditioning to the logistics of tournament travel—so a student from any background can focus entirely on their performance. It is about creating a level playing field where a player from a small town has the same resources as a pro.
We don't just teach the game; we live it. Whether it is grinding through daily sessions at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium or attending our high-altitude training camps in Janglia Gaon, our focus is always on building a foundation that holds up under pressure.
The Path to Pro
Many of our students, like Shaurya Bawa and Yusha Nafees, joined us with big dreams and a lot of grit, and we helped build the roadmap to get them there. The journey from a local court to the World Junior Championships is not an accident. It is a result of a process we call 'Total Squash.'
- Technical Precision: We focus on stroke mechanics, bio-mechanical corrections, and multi-ball feeding to build muscle memory.
- Strength & Conditioning: Squash is demanding. Our fitness regime uses battle ropes, plyo boxes, and air bikes to ensure our players are physically resilient.
- Mental Toughness: Championship squash is played in the mind as much as on the court. We provide mental coaching to prepare players for the intensity of match play.
