For last few years India has seen some serious action in professional sports, mainly in cricket, thanks to IPL. While cricket has always(and now more than ever) provided great opportunities to budding talents in professional sports, most of the other sports like football, basketball ,volleyball etc remain largely neglected.
With India’s growing economy and increasing spending power of the middle class India has become a prime markets for global sports entities like NBA or European Football Clubs. NBA has already started investing in its basketball plans for India. Many big football clubs are in the process of starting their own soccer schools in India. There is a serious case of a professional sports academies also. Needless to say, that India having world’s 2nd largest population has got great talent and can produce global champions. The young Indians do well at the under 15 levels in almost all the sports. A raw talent of 10-12 years if trained well under close scrutiny of world class coaches at a world class facility over a period of several years can produce top quality players.
