ATHLETOTS STRIDERS · PASHAN, PUNE · EVENING BATCHES
Every child moves differently. Striders meets them exactly where they are.
A full sports school for ages 2 to 12 in Pashan — three levels, one coach for every eight children.
Striders is a full sports school for ages two to twelve, right here in Pashan, Pune — three structured levels, one coach for every eight children, and a plan built specifically around each child's own age and stage.
A SCHOOL, BUILT ON SPORT SCIENCE.
Striders is coached by people who study how a child's body actually develops.
Striders is built entirely around child development science, organised into three age-banded programs — Movement Awakening for ages two to four, Athletics Development for ages five to eight, and Strength & Conditioning for ages nine to twelve. Every session, drill, and level is matched to exactly what a child's body is ready for at that age.
The result is a child who moves well, thinks on their feet, and arrives at any sport later with a body already prepared for it — with real progress measured and shared with you every quarter.
Foundation comes first. Performance follows. And foundation begins from age two.
ONE PROGRAMME, ONE FOCUSED HOUR
School stays school.
Striders is the evening.
Striders runs after the school day ends — one evening batch, same programme, same coaches, same standard, every day. It sits alongside your child's day school, in its own right.
A structured, purposeful end to the afternoon — real movement, real coaching, real energy put somewhere useful before the day winds down.
MON – FRI, EVENING BATCH

HOW TRAINING ACTUALLY WORKS
One hour built with purpose.
One quarter built to prove it.
Whichever level a child trains at, the hour follows the same structure and the quarter follows the same cycle. That consistency is exactly what makes the progress real.

Striders is the process of developing the athlete within every child.
EVERY CHILD ENTERS WHERE THEIR BODY IS READY
Age tells us where to start.
Progress tells us when to move.
Every child in Striders is placed at the level their body is actually ready for, age being just one part of that picture. A few four-year-olds move up early. A few six-year-olds need longer in Level 01. The coach decides. You'll understand why.
Movement Awakening
Ages 2 to 4
Before any sport, a child needs to understand how their own body works. Coordination, balance, bilateral movement, spatial awareness — these are the building blocks every sport is built on. Miss this stage and every sport that follows is harder than it needs to be. Get it right and everything after clicks faster. This level moves slowly and carefully, and it is the most important work we do.
3 or 5 Days / Week
Athletics Development
Ages 5 to 8
This is where sport begins — not one sport, many. Speed, agility, throwing, kicking, jumping, across a range of disciplines. Children this age learn fastest through variety, and their strengths show themselves through exposure, not early specialisation. Every child is measured every term, so both child and parent know exactly where they stand.
RUN · JUMP · THROW
Strength & Conditioning
Ages 9 to 12
For children ready to train with real intention. Multiple sports disciplines and structured conditioning, built around what a growing body can actually handle at this age. This is not a gym session repackaged for kids. It is preparation — for competitive sport if they want it, for a lifelong relationship with their own body, and for the confidence that comes from knowing exactly what that body can do.
Assessed Every Quarter
IN THE WATER, TOO
Swimming happens on campus, in our own aquatic room.
Water is one more place a child learns to trust their own body. Our aquatic room sits inside the same campus as every other Striders space, so a swim session is simply part of the day — no travel, no separate club, no waiting list somewhere else in the city.
Every child moves at their own pace here, from first contact with the water to swimming a length on their own. The mentor ratio in the pool is the same one we hold everywhere on campus: one mentor for every eight children.
Learning to swim is a life skill first, and a sport second. We teach it in that order.
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT SHOWS UP AT HOME FIRST
You'll see it long
before any report does.
You'll notice what's changing well before any termly report arrives. It shows up at home first — in how your child moves, what they talk about, and how they handle the moment something goes wrong.
Week 1-2
Your child starts telling you the actual thing that happened, instead of the usual shrug: ‘We tried this and I finally got it.’
Week 3-4
They start moving differently — steadier on their feet, more at ease in their own body.
Month 2
They start caring about sport. A record they want to beat. A skill they want to nail.
Month 3+
Confidence in their body starts showing up everywhere else — in how they try, and try again.
IT'S ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU FALL.
We're building kids who get back up.
Athletes are simply what that becomes.
Every child who tries a sport will lose more than they win, and fall more than they land. What matters is what they do in the moment right after. Striders is built so that moment — the stumble, the miss, the "almost" — is something a child has already handled, in a room built for exactly that, again and again.
Three levels, each matched to what a child's body and focus can actually handle at that age. Movement Awakening for the two-to-four-year-olds still learning how their own limbs work. Athletics Development for five-to-eight-year-olds trying everything before choosing anything. Strength & Conditioning for nine-to-twelve- year-olds training with real intention. Every child moves through the levels at their own, steady pace.
A coach's job here goes well beyond teaching a sport. It's to notice when a child needs a minute — and when they need a push.
EIGHT CHILDREN. ONE COACH. EVERY TIME.
Small groups are the actual mechanism
this runs on.
The Gurukul worked because the teacher actually knew every student — their strengths, their sticking points, their character. Striders holds every coach to that same standard. Maximum eight children per coach, always. Your child's coach notices when something is off — in their movement, their energy, their focus.
They will call you that same day — well ahead of any report three months later.
Your child is known by name here. Every improvement they make is personal. Every setback they face is met personally, too.
