My Story
We’re Jay and Paresh, founders of The Sports Gurukul. People call us the Jay & Veeru of grassroots sports, and that’s kinda funny, but true. We started this outta pure friendship and a wish to get kids off screens and back into the game. Over 20 years, we’ve seen shy kids dive into temperature-controlled swimming pools, teams win their first match, and built sports hubs across India. It’s not just about winning - it’s about growing together, one player at a time.
My Work
All Sports, One Place - Cricket, Football, Swimming, Pickleball coaching. Pay-and-play turf booking for Badminton, Padel, Tennis, Football, Cricket.
Game On, Rain or Shine - Indoor courts, covered turfs, and temperature-controlled swimming pools. Play anytime, no excuses.
Open to All Ages & Levels - Kids, adults, pros - everyone’s welcome. We focus on skills, discipline, and confidence.
Certified Coaches for Real Growth - Our coaches teach more than just sports. They help you grow as a person, not just a player.
Turn Idle Spaces into Sports Hubs - We partner with schools, societies, and landowners for sports infrastructure development. Let’s build together.
