Grassroots Development Initiatives by Elite Sporting Academy

At Elite Sporting Academy, we strongly believe that the foundation of football excellence begins at the grassroots level. Over the years, our academy has proudly organized and conducted several flagship tournaments under the guidance of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), giving young players the perfect platform to nurture their passion for the game.

2018 – 2019
League of Little Champs was organized under the prestigious AIFF Golden Baby League for the U10, U12 & U15 categories, providing competitive exposure to budding footballers.

2019 – 2020
The second season of League of Little Champs expanded further, covering U8, U10, U12 & U14 age groups, ensuring wider participation and structured development opportunities for younger players.

2022 – 2023
Elite Sporting Academy was honored to be appointed by Thane Football Association to conduct the Blue Cubs Zonal League for Kalyan–Dombivli, successfully hosting matches for U8, U10 & U12 players.

Through these initiatives, Elite Sporting Academy has consistently contributed to grassroots football development, creating pathways for children to learn, compete, and grow in a structured environment. With the support of Thane Football Association, WIFA & AIFF and the enthusiasm of players, parents, and coaches, these tournaments continue to shape the future stars of Indian football.
