Olympiads & Scholarship Exams

Swimming is the one activity every child should learn early, for safety as much as fitness. Aligarh has BBMP pools in most zones, club pools and academy pools; look for a certified coach, a pool depth suited to beginners and a batch size under ten.

Tennis coaching in Aligarh runs from KSLTA in Cubbon Park to club and apartment-complex courts. Beginners start with mini-tennis on shorter courts; ask about the coach's AITA background and whether match play is included.

Badminton is Aligarh's most popular indoor sport, with academies in almost every locality and the Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy at the top of the pyramid. Look for wooden or synthetic courts, feeder coaches and a clear progression from beginner to competitive batches.
