Sports For All (SFA) announced a holistic scholarship programme for children here today, promising to take the multi-sports inter-school competition in Mumbai to the next level.
"We have signed up training and development partners for all the 26 sporting disciplines that school kids will be competing in. The idea is to offer talented kids the best training facilities and coaching support so that they go on to become future champions," Rishikesh Joshi, the founder of SFA, said at a press conference at the CCI.
An avid sports lover and former sports administrator Rishikesh said that the second edition of the SFA will be grander and much more professional, with over 35,000 students expected to participate in 26 Olympic disciplines when the 15-day tournament gets under way on December 5.
"We have full faith in the project and believe that this will nurture good future athletes. The entire tournament will be conducted in a highly professional manner. Every match will be video recorded and the scholarship will help our young stars get better, skillfully, physically, mentally and as a sports person," Rishikesh added.
