About the Project

The Gujarat Sports Foundation is a social initiative geared towards providing holistic education and empowering students to play sports and live a balanced life. In this vein, we are organizing an online fundraiser, the proceeds of which will go towards purchasing sporting equipment such as racquets, tennis balls, nets, etc. To gain a deeper understanding of the cultural factors involved in talent identification, we are curating a comprehensive Talent Identification Manual, which focuses on evidence-based research on skill development as well as cultural factors that affect sporting development, such as economic stressors and societal attitudes. We are also enlisting the support of Coach Shailyarajsinh Harendrasinh Vaghela,  who will train 440 players free of cost. These players will receive the sporting equipment purchased through our fundraiser.

To empower and inspire young sports players across the country, we are launching The Match Point Podcast, a series that explores inspirational stories of athletes around the world. And finally, The Gujarat Sports Foundation is organizing The Gujarat Sports Foundation Tournament, a 3-day Sports tournament, the winner of which will be awarded a sponsorship to train at the Foundation as well as some prize money.
