Praful Patel profile in boosting grassroots programme as he thinks with these sessions a formatted structure for the sports can be made. The development of football will remain incomplete unless there is any progress from the very elementary and basic level.

These sessions are proving extremely fruitful and effective for the children of age groups of 6 to 12 years. These kids are giving their best endeavor to learn the modern techniques and some of them are keen on pursuing the game as their career options.
