We are an academy with unique origins. In 2013, Co-Founders Priya Gopalen and Sandhya Rajan, as mothers of two football-obsessed boys, found it next to impossible to find a suitable footbal
l program that was structured, accountable, fun, and safe. This pushed us to create our program that would be about more than just playing football โ it would help children understand that sport is not merely a game but a life skill. Weโve learned and grown since those beginnings and are now a professionally run, quality-conscious sports academy with players varying from ages 4-16. And here we are, in our 10th year of operation with more than 300 kids enrolled in any given year.

* ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐๐ป - We believe that every child has to enjoy the process of learning to play the sport, while demonstrably getting better at the game.
* ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ฝ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ - A big component of the program is fostering team spirit and developing the right attitude to the game. Coaches watch out for blame-gamers, bad losers and bragging winners - all of these natural in the age group we work with. But this is also a perfect age to foster true sportsmanship. We firmly believe that a good attitude is as important as star skills.
