Jalandhar 09th December:- BBFS Residential
Academy, a flagship initiative of Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools
(BBFS), today announced its trials to admissions for year 2020. The
trials for Jalandhar will
be held at DAV College, Mahatma Hans Raj Marg, Dayanand
Nagar on Sunday, 8hDecember 2019.
The admissions to the residential academy will be open for players born between
2003-2010, and selected players will be admitted into the academy, which
provides CBSE schooling along with the integrated football training program.
The one of
its kind in India, BBFS Residential Academy essentially provides the
opportunity for talented young football players to pursue their academics while
receiving the best-in-class football training. The benefits of a Residential
Academy goes beyond just the combination of education and training, but also
looks into several other aspects of young budding players, including their
diet, monitoring physical development, definitive competitive exposure and
career guidance.
The trials
for admission to BBFS Residential Academy are being conducted in 35 cities
across India including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kochi, Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Calicut,
Pune, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Guwahati, Shillong, as well as the states of Manipur,
Mizoram & Nagaland.
BBFS is a dream of
legendary Indian footballer, Bhaichung Bhutia to grow the game at the grassroot
level by offering high quality coaching and training infrastructure. Speaking
on the occasion, Bhaichung Bhutia,
Founder-BBFS said that football
is a high action game. It requires relentless practice, determination, grit and
passion. But that is not all. The ground workhas to begin with high quality
coaching and training infrastructure, which is sorely lacking in the country
today. We have not kept pace with other Asian countries in terms of
infrastructure and training methodologies. We want to transform this picture of
Indian football. For all those young kids itching for a structured progress
plan, we at BBFS, offer international standard training programs, coaches,
regular tournaments and opportunities to experience and excel on the global
football arena.
The Residential Academy
thrives on the BBFS’ core value system – passion, perseverance and teamwork.
The management believes that opportunity to play, learn and master the game
should be available to all who seek it and no talented player should be barred from
the opportunity to master the game. Kishore Taid, Co-Founder and CEO of BBFS elaborated that from the collective experience of the
management and coaching team of the academy, we know that there is no dearth of
talent in the country and talent can be found in any corner of India. We want
to make this residential program accessible to every player, and to do this, we
are going to all major cities and football hubs of the country to reach out to
players locally. We have done this in the past as well, and now, we have
players from 20 states in the country. He believe we can have representation
from all states, and so we are conducting trials in more cities this year to
reach out to every child with the dream of becoming a professional football
player.
BBFS has a golden track
record in terms of developing home-grown players who have gone on to play for
India, and for many top clubs in the Indian Super League and the I–League. In the short span since the Residential Academy has
begun, two players have already been selected to be a part of the India
National Team. Earlier in 2019, Ranjan Soren, hailing from Orissa and Lionel D
Rymee from Meghalaya, were selected to be part of the India’s U-15 Squad and
have represented the country internationally in the on-goingseason. The young
boys have been an inspiration to the other academy players and are an example
of how opportunities are available to each aspiring player at the academy. BBFS
has also coached and guided more than 20 players who have gone on to play for India,
ISL clubs, I-League clubs and even two who have played for foreign clubs.
With India hosting two
U-17 FIFA World Cups in a span of 3 years, there is no doubt that football has
risen to be a primary sport in the country. In fact, there have been many noteworthy
initiatives from the government – such as Mission XI Million and Khelo India School Games, and several private sector initiatives
from companies to encourage the sport and those who play it. There is no doubt
that the scope for football has greatly increased and so have the platforms for
young aspiring football players to grow and perform.
