@Moumita Das and Krishna
I wish I could help you with the information that you’re looking for. This piece of information is something that I got to hear sometime back. I’m not really sure of the developments thereafter.
Shall update this column as and when anything pops up out of the blue.

It’s amazing to see so many folks want to join their kids in this Academy. I’m also looking to do the same [Kid's name - Soumya Gade; just turned 10; showing good potential and came 3rd in US U11 junior nationals last year] and not much information is available on the Internet. I would appreciate any kind of news on the joining process as soon as it’s available – thanks, Raj

Hi,
I would like to know if coaching is available for the age group – 12yrs. My daughter is keen in Badminton game but i am not sure whether that will lead to be her career. Does Gopichand’s academy offer these trainings (an outlet for kids from their regular activity and may pursue this with passion- we do not know) on a monthly basis? Whom should we get in touch with? What is the contact number? I received a number from Just dial but that is not reachable.
I don’t find any other details other than the news items from Hindu pages and few.

Mr. Gopichand,
Kindly let me know is it possible for my son who is 15 yrs old and among the top players in Spore in his age group be allowed to join your academy in Nov 09 for 2 months and train with your players. My son is known to your Indonesian coach Hardy as he had seen and coached him on a few occasions. Please advice me the charges for accomodation, food and training for at least 6 weeks.
thanking you very much,
