Dribble Academy stands for excellence in Basketball coaching, life skills, personality development, and alternate teaching methods. One of a kind, the program uses Basketball as a medium to develop, extend and stretch the minds of 400+ underprivileged kids and gives them a platform to learn and exhibit competence.

The Academy was founded by Pradyut Voleti, a Masters in Clinical Psychology, who returned to India in 2014 after training with USA’s Leading Skill Development Trainer Ganon Baker in Florida under his Shadow Coaching Program at Elev8 Sports Institute. The 28-year-old Voleti is a FIBA Level II Certified Coach, one of only 75 such coaches in India, and among the youngest.
