MEET THE FOUNDERS

Co-Founder (Left Image)
Driven by my passion for sports, I co-founded Elite Sports Academy after identifying a significant gap between players and opportunities in existing leagues. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where youth can refine their skills, build confidence, and enhance their chances of competing at higher levels.

Growing up, sports were a cornerstone of my childhood, giving me discipline, a sense of community, and countless memories, especially playing under my dad as my coach. His guidance taught me teamwork, perseverance, and leadership—lessons that extended far beyond the game. These experiences inspired me to give back to the community that shaped me, leading to the creation of Elite Sports Academy. My goal is to provide young athletes with the same opportunities to grow, connect, and build lifelong values through the power of sports while fostering a strong, supportive community.

Growing up, I played various sports such as basketball, volleyball, football, and cricket. There is a discrepancy in the developmental skills of the youth in the community. My goal is to develop a sports academy that can help polish the skills and raw talent of our youth and propel them to the next level in their respective sport.
