Workshop

We came across this workshop ad on Instagram which was conducted by IKF in association with Pro Soccer Global. We were a bit skeptical at first about attending the workshop. But all our doubts were cleared when we spoke with a team member of IKF over phone who explained about the whole process and the benefit of attending the workshop. We registered and attended the workshop at New Delhi. The workshop was conducted in a very professional manner with each player going through fitness drills and then they made them play matches. In the end feedback was provided by PL academy scouts Jimmy and Chris which I feel was very valuable. And the players got a chance to interact with the scouts which was good as well. And after 20 days the technical assessment report was also sent to us which again was very insightful and helped us to know Mongtsu's strength and weaknesses. But the biggest surprise came for us when Mongtsu was declared as the winner of the workshop. We have already got the letter from Steven Gerrard Academy and he'll be flying to UK in July for the player development camp. Overall I would like to thank Pro Soccer Global scouts for selecting and Steven Gerrard academy for inviting Mongtsu to train at their prestigious academy. And at the same time special mention to IKF for providing such an amazing platform to Indian footballers which will only help strengthen the football ecosystem in India. We belong to Wokha which is a remote town in Nagaland and if a hidden talent can be found from such a remote area, it's all credit to IKF.

Hello I'm Pranav Telvekar - Player . I'm from Kolhapur. I saw the add of pro soccer globals workshop on india khelo football's instagram page and I came to Mumbai for the workshop . I really liked playing there. Jimmy Hayes sir and Chris McGrath sir had come there for scouting. There drills and matches happened, and after that chris mcgrath sir gave me my good feedback. Everything was there professionally and I got my assessment report after 15-20 working days. This was my best experience. Thank you !! India khelo football !

The Big Picture: The extensive broad platform of India Khelo Football IKF has been a runaway success. The second season wherein we participated in Mumbai selections 2022 and thereafter in Ghaziabad was a big insight amongst the players of India as to how they fare within Indian players. IKF is cultivating an identity and trend that India needed at national level. There are countless ways to make a player feel like they matter. IKF has given a huge impetus to all participating players and has united entire India's football at grassroot level.
Personal level: When I look at the experience gained while attending IKF as a father, I used to wonder why India never achieved in football at world level in spite of having talented and skilled players. The game warrants preparation right from childhood and this can only be ingrained by first befitting the ideas and determination in parents mind and then automatically the child takes it to next level. IKF has generated a huge furore in the community, schools and clubs which will eventually benefit football in India. Many parents and players don't know the pathway further in football even if they excel in the sport. IKF has disseminated this knowledge of the many opportunities at national and international level. The ProSoccerGlobal coaches has been amazing with much needed feedback with scope for improvement. The friendly coaches have been ever motivating and dedication in hot weather was commendable. We had a direct zoom meeting with the coaches and Mr Hitesh who have helped us with all the information needed for getting and training with a club/ academy at international level.
Player Level: Players will always want to compete with players with advanced skills so that they can up their level and learn. IKF has given the opportunity to players from south India to compete with North east players which they wouldn't have thought at basic level. This gives them insight to the players and parents to decide what is the level presently. This is essential to give players a feedback and ground reality .
