Dr Hoops: India’s First Nationwide Basketball Coaching Matchmaking Service Goes Live!
The goal? To ensure that every player, regardless of background, skill level, location or ambition, has access to tailored coaching opportunities across the country—and even abroad.
In a landmark step for Indian basketball, Ekalavyas—India’s oldest and only dedicated basketball media platform—has launched a first-of-its-kind, all-India basketball coaching matchmaking initiative. The goal? To ensure that every player, regardless of background, skill level, location or ambition, has access to tailored coaching opportunities across the country—and even abroad.
A Solution for Every Type of Player
Whether you're a complete beginner looking to pick up your first dribble, an aspiring pro chasing dreams of turning out for India or the NCAA, or a parent seeking guidance for your child—this initiative has been designed to match you with the right coach, academy or institution.
Unlike one-size-fits-all training camps, this is a customized approach. Players (or their parents/guardians) are asked to share detailed information—age, skill level, location, goals, gender, budget and more. Based on this, Ekalavyas connects them with suitable options—be it residential academies, group coaching, U.S.-style training programs, girls-only camps, or daily 1-on-1 personalized sessions.
A Global First?
While the U.S. and Europe have long had elite athlete development pathways, rarely has there been a publicly accessible, open form that helps every player—no matter how niche or unconventional their need—get matched with a basketball solution that fits both budget and ambition. It’s possibly a global first for the sport—especially at this scale, with a whole-country reach.
Academic + Athletic? That’s Possible Too
Another standout feature: academic integration. For those looking to combine school or college education with basketball training, the form also enables matches with institutions offering hybrid models—a growing trend in India’s evolving sports ecosystem.
For Indians… and International Players Too
While the focus is on Indian hoopers, the initiative is open to international players wishing to train in India—a growing reality given India’s affordability and untapped coaching talent.
What’s the Catch?
None. Ekalavyas has clarified that it acts purely as a third-party marketing associate and facilitator, without assuming any legal liability for the delivery of coaching services. The platform merely bridges the gap between demand and supply—between players seeking opportunity and coaches/academies/institutions eager to work with committed talent.
Get Matched. Get Better. Get Going.
From weekend warriors to future pros, the new Ekalavyas initiative ensures there’s finally a basketball development pathway for every kind of Indian player. No matter your city, skill or salary.
If you're ready to find your basketball fit, visit Ekalavyas’ form and take the first step.
