Building A Structured Sporting Pathway
Launched earlier this year, Da One Sports’ grassroots initiative aims to connect raw talent in Jammu & Kashmir with elite-level training environments. The timing feels significant too, arriving on the heels of the state team’s historic Ranji Trophy win, which has already sparked renewed enthusiasm for sport across the region. Saba Karim expressed excitement about nurturing young athletes from the state, emphasizing the goal of giving them scientific training and real exposure so ability and commitment, not geography, determine how far they go.
What School Leadership Is Saying
Brig. Tejender Choudhary, Chairman of Army Public School, Janglot, credited the partnership with reinforcing the school’s long-standing belief in sport as a tool for building character and discipline. He noted that seeing students train at an elite facility and their football team win a regional title sends a clear message that talent from Jammu & Kashmir can compete at the highest levels when given the right support.
Principal Dr. Vishakha Sharma echoed that sentiment, highlighting how the initiative gives students access to quality coaching and development pathways alongside their academics, hoping it inspires more young athletes across the region to pursue sport with confidence.
