Vision
This remarkable 15-acre multi-sports centre is one of the best state-of-the-art private sportsplex of India and is set up on the brainchild of Vivek Kumar, an entrepreneur who is deeply committed to the idea of developing sports excellence in Karnataka and India.
Being a world class, hassle-free infrastructure for athletes, coaches and sports academies, the centre aims to promote and build a platform for Indian youngsters including people with disabilities to develop their skills and excel in their field.
A project dedicated to two iconic sport stars
This project is dedicated to two of Karnatakas and Indias iconic sport stars: Prakash Padukone, former world No.1 badminton player, and Rahul Dravid, one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. Both of them played key roles in shaping CSE as Co-Chairmen of the Board of Advisors.
The Club
Located in the North of Bangalore, the campus contains a full-sized football pitch, 16 badminton courts, squash, tennis basketball courts, a cricket ground, indoor and outdoor nets, a state-of-the-art sports science centre and two pools. One is a 50 metre, 10-lane Olympic-size swimming pool built by Myrtha Pools and equipped with 20 Myrtha Track Start starting blocks.
This Myrtha pool is now home to Dolphin Aquatics, one of the oldest registered swimming clubs in Karnataka, headed by Nihar Ameen, India’s top swimming coach. He coached the Indian Olympic team for both the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games as well as numerous World Championships.
