Though football has been a very popular sport in Parivaar residential institutions for all these years, we are particularly marvelled by the stupendous performance our children who did not go through a structured coaching program (as is the case with Basketball at Parivaar).
We are in process of placing an impactful structured training system from an early which can produce even greater outcomes in future, just as we continue to have in Basketball where our players represent the state team and tour play in various national level tournaments.
