Launch Your Sports Franchise
We turn underutilized spaces into thriving sports hubs. Whether you want to manage an academy yourself or invest in a fully operated facility, we provide the blueprints to make it a reality.
This is your opportunity to build a sports legacy. This video breaks down our two powerful franchise models, the hands-on FOFO model and the investment-focused FOCO model. See how we provide the brand, systems, and support to help you create a successful sports business that shapes young athletes and builds healthier communities.
We see potential where others see an empty lot. This before-and-after transformation shows how we convert an idle space into a vibrant, professionally managed sports hub. Our team handles everything from infrastructure development to daily operations, creating a high-impact facility with sustainable returns for our partners.
We are honored to be recognized by Forbes India as 'Game Changing Leaders'. This feature highlights the two-decade journey of our co-founders, Jay Shah and Paresh Kothari, in revolutionizing grassroots sports in India. This is a testament to our commitment and the proven success of our sports education model.
We are proud to be at the forefront of sports innovation in India. This image captures our landmark partnership with the Indian Pickleball Association (IPA) to launch the first-ever National Inter-School Pickleball Championship. This initiative showcases our ability to forge strategic alliances and build new sporting ecosystems from the ground up.
Our network includes partnerships with global experts and leading educational institutions. Here, legendary cricket coach John Buchanan joins us to launch the 'Ready Steady Go Kids' program in Noida. This collaboration with the Peas in Pods preschool chain is an example of how our franchise model expands into new markets and age groups.
This is the impact of our work in action. This montage offers a glimpse into our world-class facilities, dedicated coaching, and the vibrant communities we build. From cricket nets to badminton courts, we are nurturing future champions and maximizing the utility of sports infrastructure across the country.
About Featured
You are looking at two distinct paths: our 'Captain’s Role' FOFO model where you handle daily operations, or the 'Investor’s Play' FOCO model where we manage the facility end-to-end. We provide the branding, the systems, and the infrastructure support—you choose the level of involvement that fits your goals.
Building a sports business requires more than just a court and a ball. Over the last 20 years, we have refined the systems that actually work, moving from idle land to revenue-generating assets. Whether it is a box cricket turf, a pickleball court, or a multi-sport academy, our franchise models are designed to minimize risk and maximize utility.
The Franchise Paths
- Captain’s Role (FOFO): This is for the hands-on entrepreneur. You get our branding, coaching curriculum, and backend systems while you manage the day-to-day operations. It is direct ownership with our roadmap to guide you.
- Investor’s Play (FOCO): If you prefer to stay off the field, this is your model. You provide the investment, and our team handles everything from setup and staffing to daily management and marketing. You watch the business grow without getting into the weeds of operations.
Transforming Idle Spaces
We specialize in converting underutilized properties like terraces, open plots, and warehouse spaces into active sports hubs. We handle the civil work, the installation of high-grade artificial turf, the LED floodlighting, and the ongoing operational management.
Proven Results
We do not just hand over a setup. We integrate your facility into our national network. This includes access to our tech stack for slot management, national marketing drives, and partnerships with bodies like the Indian Pickleball Association. We have done this across 25 plus centers in India, turning concepts into community-focused, profitable sports hubs.
