MUMBAI: The Sports Gurukul, with the expertise of coach Jason Benadretti, founder of Core Focus Training (CFT), USA, recently launched the TSG Basketball School, at Andheri.
At the inauguration of the TSG Basketball School, coach Benadretti pointed out that it’s very important to focus on teaching the basic skills and techniques to young children from the beginning. “For any sport, success starts with the grassroot levels. As those groups start to succeed, you start to move up together and now maybe you had a guy make it to the top level, and more people get motivated. Hopefully this is what the TSG-CFT partnership will do, create some kids who will improve and inspire the nation to step it up to the next level.”
TSG co-founder Paresh Kothari said: “The passion for basketball in India and the desire to have industry leading coaching is evident. With this partnership, we believe we can not only help to develop the Indian talent, but provide them with a development pathway that has been proven around the world time and time again.”
The TSG Basketball School will provide an opportunity for budding basketball players to get coaching at both, the grassroot level and at the professional level. CFT have designated their coaches to share their experience with the kids and local coaches and supervise and monitor the entire program. They will be assisted by our TSG coaches, who get an opportunity to work closely with the American coaches and learn the finer points of game and improve their coaching techniques.
