Who We Are

From One Ground To Pune's Trusted Sports Academy

Champions Sports Academy started in 2011 with a single cricket net and a coach who believed talent needed structure, not just enthusiasm. Today we run four training grounds across the city and coach over 3,200 athletes across cricket, football, athletics and badminton.

Our philosophy is simple: technique first, fitness always, and character above the scoreboard. Every batch is capped in size so that no player is just a number on our attendance sheet.
