Coach Meera Kulkarni
Founder & Head Coach
NIS-certified sports coach with 12 years guiding kids from first steps to first trophies.
Kids Sports Academy · Baner, Pune
Football, gymnastics, athletics and a dozen more sports — coached with warmth, safety and a whole lot of high-fives. For little movers and future athletes aged 4 to 14.
Our story
Sprout began when Coach Meera watched her own daughter dread PE class — bored, benched, and convinced she "wasn't sporty". So we built the opposite of that: a place where every child gets the ball, gets a turn, and gets cheered on by name.
Ten years on, our little academy in Baner runs on the same idea. Movement first, medals later. We teach the fundamentals of a dozen sports through play, so kids build confidence, coordination and friendships that outlast any season.
Programmes by age
Every Sprout is different, so we group by stage — not just age — and let kids move up when they're ready. Tap an age band to see what a term looks like.
Wobbles, giggles and first goals. Our youngest movers build balance, coordination and body-confidence through parachute games, mini obstacle courses and soft-ball sports — always at their own pace.
The multi-sport sampler. Kids rotate through football, basketball, athletics and gymnastics across the term, discovering what lights them up while learning real technique in a friendly, no-pressure setting.
Where a favourite sport becomes a specialism. Rising Stars pick a lead sport, train the details, and play in our friendly inter-academy fixtures — with strength and mobility work built in to keep growing bodies happy.
For the committed. Elite athletes follow a periodised plan in their chosen sport, with video feedback, fitness testing and pathways toward school and district-level selection — all while keeping the joy in the game.
Sports on offer
Mix and match through the term. Not sure which one? Our multi-sport programmes let kids try them all first.
Parents don't just leave a child with us — they trust us. So we earn it, every single day.
Our home ground
An all-weather turf, a spacious indoor hall and a padded gymnastics zone — so a little rain never stops the fun.

Parent stories
"My daughter used to hide from PE. Six months at Sprout and she's the first one out the door on Saturdays. Coach Meera knows every child by name — it feels like family."
"What sold me was the safety. Verified coaches, sensible group sizes, proper sign-out at pick-up. My son thinks he's just playing football — I know he's in the safest hands in Baner."
"We tried three academies. Sprout is the only one where the coaches celebrate effort, not just the naturally gifted kids. My shy little one finally believes she's an athlete."
