Sporthood Badminton Academy

Badminton coaching for kids begin from the age of 6 and goes up to 16, with dedicated batches being available for every age group. These batches have a maximum of 12 players so that kids can participate more while allowing the coaches to play a bigger role in their development. Finding the right batch based on age and skill level is the first step towards setting up a fun and effective learning environment for your child.Coaching Philosophy The Sporthood Academy for Badminton focuses on the holistic development of the child in order for them to be able to deal successfully with various sporting challenges in the future, while also ingraining in them the values that embodies our philosophy: Effort, respect, teamwork, humility, and ambition. We also strongly believe that the progress of a child depends on the development of the coaches. Only a skilled coach can bring out hidden talents that are lurking within each child. Therefore, every coach working in Sporthood is trained by former Indian National Coach, Uttsav Mishra who has worked with the likes of PV Sindhu, Saina Nehwal and Kidambi Srikanth. This is carried out in weekly training sessions that focus on the various aspects of coaching, player development and progress.

Coaching Methodology
The Sporthood curriculum has been scientifically designed, developed and curated by a team of experienced coaches led by Uttsav Mishra. Every session is planned well in advance, reviewed by the experts and contains a series of progressive and interrelated activities, each adapted for a specific training level or stage. Constant focus is emphasised on improving the 5 key aspects that affect sport performance - Technical, physical, mental, social and nutritional habits.

Progress Tracking & Reporting
One of the major advantages Sporthood has over its competitors is the App enabled technology support that is available for parents and kids to manage their whole academy experience. From finding the right batch in the right location to booking a trial, we have simplified it all down to a few clicks. But the cornerstone of our technology solution is the ability of our coaches to track a child's progress during the session, while allowing parents access to the same. In addition to this, quarterly progress reports are generated and worked upon in one-to-one Parent-Coach meetings.

Growth & Exposure
At the end of the road, what every academy strives to achieve is to create new superstars in Indian Badminton. We at Sporthood have tried to make this dream an eventuality with our association with national coaches and international brands like Puma and Yonex. Aside from all the training, the kids are also exposed to plenty of tournaments to develop their competitive edge. Such environments accelerate growth, increase team spirit and build life skills as they learn to cope with the ups and downs of reality.

Merit and Means based Scholarships
Sporthood Academy provides scholarships for highly talented kids as well as those who may not be able to afford the coaching fees. These scholarships vary from a 25% to 50% fee reduction and in some cases go up to even 100%. Merit based scholarships are given out to the most gifted kids while means based scholarships can be worked out considering various factors like Annual income.
