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. ## More services from The Sports Gurukul - [Sports Facility Rentals (Pay & Play)](https://mytribe.in/thesportsgurukul_/sports-facility-rentals-pay-play) · ₹500-2,000 per hour (estimate) - [Sports Business Franchising](https://mytribe.in/thesportsgurukul_/sports-business-franchising) · ₹4-12L per franchise (estimate) - [Sports Facility Design & Construction](https://mytribe.in/thesportsgurukul_/sports-facility-design-construction) · ₹700-1,500 per sq.ft.
