Ignite Your Passion for Basketball - From First Dribble to National Jersey

Our story

From first touch to national level

Baloncesto Academia is a Mumbai-based basketball training academy led by Coach Vishal Chhabra — an ex-National player and Maharashtra coach who has guided 20+ players to national-level representation.

From our centres in Kandivali we coach players at every stage, from first-time grassroot beginners to advanced athletes competing at district, state, and national tournaments — and we go beyond the court with nutrition guidance, tournament exposure, and a focus on character.

We believe in nurturing the whole athlete: building skill, fitness and game IQ alongside discipline, teamwork and confidence that last a lifetime.

We are on a mission to nurture passion for the game, transform it into excellence, and play a pivotal role in providing top talents across the country with the best of facilities and coaching.

Vision

To provide a framework which inspires young athletes to realise their full potential and live healthy and impactful lives.

Goals

Committed to improving sportsman spirit, community involvement, and team competitiveness, Baloncesto Academia prepares players for district, state, national, and global recognition.
