SPORTS ACADEMY
Sports have been part of humanity since times immemorial. It started as a way to establish mastery over
nature and environment. There is evidence that in ancient period, sports was the source of mass
recreation. Cave paintings, and presence of various historical stadiums like Coliseums in Rome depict
heavy indulgence in sporting activities. It was only after Industrial Revolution which provided people
with leisure time and brought about professionalism in the field of sports. Colonial countries like
England played a huge role in acquainting the locals with various sports like cricket and baseball.
Understanding the varied interests and choices people can have, we in our sports academy, offer a wide
array of sporting activities. You can choose any sporting activity based on your liking, comfort and
expertise.
Keeping the dire necessity of getting our youth to embrace sports as part of his daily life, we at Passerine
have introduced a sports academy. Our sports academy will cater to, from tiny tots to young and old of
all sizes and background. What could be better than a trusted name in your vicinity taking up the task of
establishing a one-stop place for all your sporting needs?
OUR MISSION:
Our programs will continue to grow over the years into the dominant national federations of India and
will gradually become a brand spread all across India. The largest chain of Sports Academies in India will
be lead by the Passerine Group. The team will select specific children to whom it can support its
sponsor’s needs. We will execute a dual pronged approach and compete in various segments in various
countries and expand further into the international market.
ROLE OVERVIEW

volunteers and partners to get the job done. Independent actions could include finding venues for
training, advertising of classes, engaging volunteers, taking photos of the classes for marketing purposes
and capturing stories and information from the projects. The role will depend on your own
resourcefulness, hard work, and inspiration. You will report to the senior coach, manage your own

material on the progress of classes and students. This will include verbal feedback, class registers, stories
