Grassroot Development Program

dots

Our Grassroot Development Program initiative empowers children, especially from underserved communities, to discover and pursue their passion for sports. By creating early access to structured training, mentorship, and scholarships, we ensure that young talent receives the guidance and resources needed to grow. Working closely with government schools, NGO’s, sports academies and individual athletes, the program builds a strong foundation for children to not only excel in sports but also develop essential life skills such as confidence, discipline, and leadership. Through this initiative, we are nurturing the next generation of athletes and opening pathways for sustainable sporting careers.

1) Grant Partnerships

This initiative empowers girls in grassroots sports by partnering with academies, NGOs, and sports organizations. It breaks barriers like economic constraints, social stigma, and limited access through funding, coaching, equipment, and health programs. By promoting inclusion, sports science, and better infrastructure, it nurtures talent, leadership, and sustainable sports ecosystems, helping girls thrive as confident athletes and role models.

2) Girl Education Scholarship

The Girls Scholarship program supports talented young female athletes under 18 to balance sports and academics despite economic or social challenges. Through financial aid, mentorship, and holistic development, it bridges opportunity gaps, reduces dropout rates, and shapes confident, educated, and resilient future leaders in sport and beyond.

3) Grassroot School Stars

Sport serves as a powerful tool to instil confidence, resilience, and leadership in children through the Grassroot School Stars program for government school students in Bangalore (Grades 5–7). Over 60+ sessions, certified coaches provide age-appropriate training across multiple sports alongside life skills development in communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and emotional well-being. Journaling is woven in to inspire self-reflection and personal growth, equipping students with the skills and mindset to excel both on the field and in life.
