“RNSF is providing accessibility to the kids from humble background to learn squash. In India, we have limited sports infrastructure and everyone doesn’t get a chance to learn a sport. We believe in Talent & Hard work should be the key element to learn a sport, not economic or wealth status. We don’t restrict our players to the local events but we send them for national and international tournaments. We are mentoring and helping the talented and upcoming athletes from all over India who wish to perform to compete at higher level. We are keen in involving students from their very basic schooling in the sport for which we have introduced a new program which gives chance to the kids from humble background.”[/blockquote]

We provide all of the necessary elements of long-term athlete development including top coaching, dedicated court time, world-class fitness/training facilities and therapy/rehab services to the kids who does not have privilege of learning a sport.
