The Academy provides training to youngsters on a daily basis through rigorous training sessions with frequency of twice everyday(weekdays) through their qualified coaches. The academy works in the development of the youngsters through different age groups - Under-20(managed by Spanish coach Miquel Llado), Under-17 and Under-15. The Academy provides training to these age groups through dedicated coaches for each category.
