Gautam Buddh Nagar, December 17, 2025:
In a move aimed at enhancing training facilities for athletes, the District Sports Office of Gautam Buddh Nagar has appointed part-time coaches at Malikpur Sports Stadium. These appointments were made following a selection committee interview process and under the directives of the District Magistrate.
The newly appointed coaches include Vijay Kumar as Basketball Coach, Sumit Kumar as Kabaddi Coach, Shubham Nagar as Gym Coach, and Manisha Gautam as Women’s Gym Coach. The initiative is designed to provide athletes with professional guidance and improve the quality of training offered at the stadium.
In a statement, In-Charge District Sports Officer Dr. Parvez Ali emphasized that providing better facilities for athletes is a top priority for the department. He noted that previously, gym trainees had to train without guidance, kabaddi players faced challenges due to the absence of a coach, and basketball players had long been requesting professional support.
Dr. Ali expressed confidence that under the mentorship of experienced coaches, athletes would receive more effective training and be better prepared for upcoming competitions. The appointments are expected to significantly improve performance and ensure athletes can practice in a structured, professional environment.
This step by the District Sports Office reflects the administration’s commitment to strengthening sports infrastructure and supporting athletes in their development across multiple disciplines.
