LegaXy, a leading sports management and entertainment brand, along with Indian sportsmen Harshit Rana, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Puja Tomar, Neetu Chandra Srivastava and Pratima Singh, have announced the launch of LegaXy Sports Academy, a school-focused initiative aimed at strengthening structured sports education by integrating elite athletic training with academic excellence.
Designed to work closely with schools, the academy offers structured in-school, after-school, and high-performance training programmes that prioritise fundamentals, fitness, and mindset development, while ensuring children remain fully engaged with their academic education.
The academy follows a scientific Long-Term Athlete Development framework across eight sports, including cricket, football, basketball, table tennis, badminton, swimming, taekwondo, and martial arts. Along with mentorship from professional athletes and experienced coaches, the approach focuses on early talent identification and progressive development pathways, allowing students to pursue sport without compromising academic progress.
“Over the years, our work across the sports ecosystem has highlighted a strong opportunity to strengthen sports education at the school level,” said Aneesh Gautam, Co-Founder and Director of Talent, LegaXy. “Too often, young athletes navigate their formative years without clear pathways or long-term guidance. LegaXy Sports Academy has been created to bring clarity, professional systems, and athlete-led mentorship into early-stage development, without forcing children to choose between sport and studies. Our focus is on building sustainable talent pipelines, where young athletes receive the right guidance, exposure, and performance support from the very beginning.”
Speaking about his involvement as a co-founder, Harshit Rana, Indian Cricketer, “Good training always starts with strong fundamentals. What attracted me here is the emphasis on pressure- free learning. Children train regularly, parents see progress, schools see discipline, and kids enjoy learning. There are no shortcuts, only long-term growth.”
