“Since the courts remain free during early mornings and evenings, we’ve decided to open them to the public. It’s our way of giving back to the community that has supported us over the years.”

A Sport for All Ages, Now in Serilingampally

Pickleball, a fast-growing sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, is gaining massive popularity across India — particularly in Hyderabad. What sets it apart is its accessibility and relaxed gameplay, making it ideal for students, professionals, and senior citizens alike.

Mr. Aditya Reddy, Co-founder and CEO of Gamepoint, emphasized the growing popularity of the sport:

“Pickleball is fun, inclusive, and perfect for people of all skill levels. It’s especially loved by corporate professionals who want to stay active in a stress-free, social environment. Unlike competitive games, pickleball is all about enjoyment and movement.”

Gamepoint Partnership Brings Professional Coaching to School and Beyond

This collaboration with Sancta Maria marks Gamepoint’s third school partnership, managing sports infrastructure beyond school hours. The school’s existing facilities for badminton, volleyball, basketball, football, and cricket are now enhanced with dedicated pickleball courts.

Through this partnership:

• Students will benefit from after-school coaching by certified trainers.
• Children from outside the school can also enroll in training programs.
• Local residents and working professionals can book court time via the Gamepoint App, making elite sports facilities more accessible.

“Our goal is to make top-tier sports coaching and infrastructure accessible to a larger audience,” said Aditya Reddy.
“We’re proud to support Sancta Maria’s vision for an active, healthy community.”

Building a Healthier Community Through Sport

The initiative goes beyond infrastructure. Sancta Maria International School and Gamepoint plan to host beginner workshops, friendly tournaments, and community events to introduce more people to the game. With convenient online booking and a central location, the courts are expected to become a popular sports hub in Serilingampally and neighbouring areas.

“This project reflects our long-standing belief that schools should not just educate minds but also nurture physical well-being — not just for students, but for the entire community,” added Mr. Arogya Reddy.
