The Sports School aims to open in Hyderabad early next year
Hyderabad, February 24: Built with the vision to inspire the next generation of world-class student-athletes, The Sports School aims to create a culture and environment where sports and education come together. Established in June 2019, The Sports School, Bangalore aims to recognise the abundance of young talent in the country and provide them the opportunity to train under proven champions in world class facilities without compromising on their academic needs.
With their efforts to strengthen India’s future as a sporting powerhouse, The Sports School has brought on board Rohan Bopanna Tennis Academy for tennis, Bengaluru Football Club for football and Center for Cricketing Excellence for cricket with Robin Uthappa as advisor and Jain Group of Institutions for education.
With plans to open in Hyderabad early next year, they have now partnered with Anup Sridhar Badminton Academy for Badminton. While Sridhar has been providing training for beginners, intermediate and for professionals, The Sports School has strengthened its offering by associating with coach extraordinaire, Pullela Gopichand as its Mentor to the badminton program, who has expressed his desire to take on a concrete role of mentorship post the Tokyo Olympics.
“Since its inception, The Sports School has made the perfect amalgamation of Sports and Education a priority for student-athletes to mould them into well-rounded champions. In Anup, we have someone who has played the game at the highest level and a proven new-age coach. Pullela Gopichand was a champion player himself and the best badminton coach we have ever had. I am very excited for our student-athletes as they now have these two legends guiding them.” said Dr. Chenraj, Chairman, The Sports School.
The group has been a pathbreaker in bettering the physical literacy of the country, which is why they have plans to tie up with close to 200 institutions across India to lend the expertise and bring together education and sporting excellence.
