About the Foundation

A not-for-profit academy with a national mandate.

Yuva Bhartiya Sports Foundation India was founded on a simple observation: India does not lack sporting talent, it lacks structured pathways. We exist to close that gap — district by district, athlete by athlete.

M

Our Mission

To identify, nurture and elevate grassroots sporting talent across India through structured coaching, scientific training, nutrition guidance and full scholarship support - so that no talent is lost to a lack of opportunity.

V

Our Vision

An India where every district produces national-level athletes, and where sport is a respected, viable career path for the country’s youth.

  • Every athlete assessed on entry and retested every twelve weeks
  • Small batches so each athlete receives individual correction
  • Scholarship support for athletes selected on merit
  • Independently audited accounts, published every year

Built like a national programme,
run like a community.

Everything here exists to answer one question: is this athlete measurably better than they were twelve weeks ago?

Certified Coaching Panel

Periodised, Written Plans

Foundation, build, competition and recovery phases across a twelve-month calendar. Each athlete gets their plan in writing.

A fully equipped S&C floor programmed around your discipline — power for throwers, endurance for runners, rotation for cricket.

Nutrition That Fits Real Budgets

Diet charts built from locally available, affordable food. No imported supplements, no unrealistic plans families cannot sustain.

Injury Prevention & Return-to-Play

Prehab built into every warm-up, and conservative, evidence-based protocols before any athlete returns to competition.

A Real Competitive Pathway

Inter-academy fixtures, district and state tournaments, and Khelo India trial exposure — with travel and entry fees supported.

Our Team

Coaches who have done it, teaching those who will.

Founders and coaching staff together — between them our panel carries more than fifty years of competitive and coaching experience across eight disciplines.

In Their Words

Athletes, parents and physicians.

“I joined with no formal training at all. In fourteen months the coaches took me from a school ground to a state podium. The periodised plan and the weekly video feedback changed everything for me.”

PD Pritam DasAthlete | State 200m Bronze Medallist

“What convinced me was the discipline. Attendance, fitness scores, a written progress report every quarter - I always know exactly how my daughter is developing. And the coaches genuinely care.”

SM Sunita MandalParent of a Junior Foundation athlete

“The strength floor is better equipped than any commercial gym in the city, and every session is programmed for my sport rather than generic lifting. My bowling speed is up by nine kmph.”

RB Rahul BarmanAthlete | Academy Standard member

“The scholarship covered my kit, my travel and my tournament entries. Without the Foundation I would have stopped boxing after class ten. Now I am fighting in the state qualifiers.”

FA Farhan AliAthlete | Elite Pathway, Boxing

“I have worked with several academies. The return-to-play protocols here are the most conservative and the most evidence-based I have seen at the grassroots level in this region.”

Questions

Everything parents and athletes ask us

What is the minimum age to join the Foundation?
Our Junior Foundation programme starts at six years of age for football and seven for badminton. Cricket and athletics begin at eight, and combat sports at twelve. Every new athlete goes through a free assessment session before a batch is assigned.
Do you offer scholarships or fee waivers?
Yes. Yes. Athletes who clear the selection benchmark receive coaching, kit, travel and tournament entry at no cost. Register through the player registration form and mention that you are seeking scholarship support.
Are the coaches certified?
Every coach on our panel holds a recognised certification — NSNIS, BCCI Level-2, AIFF D-Licence, BAI or an internationally recognised strength and conditioning credential. Certifications are listed on each coach profile.
Can I train in more than one sport?
Yes. The Elite Pathway plan includes two disciplines plus strength and conditioning. For other plans, a second discipline can be added at a reduced rate — ask at the front desk or over WhatsApp.
What happens after I submit the registration form?
Our admissions team contacts you on WhatsApp within 24 hours to confirm the batch, the reporting time and the documents to bring. Player registration is free — nothing is charged on the form.
Is the Foundation registered and audited?
Yes. We are a registered not-for-profit body, ISO 9001:2015 certified, MSME registered, and our accounts are independently audited each financial year. Registration details are printed in the footer of every page.
