UKSC Academy, supported by Techno India Group, has initiated a holistic grassroots football development program for kids in the age group of 4–18 years at Salt Lake Ground in Kolkata. It bases its structured 5-corner development model on the demands of modern football—technical, tactical, physical, mental, and social. Under the guidance of Yan Law, one of India's youngest AFC Pro Licence coaches, and other licensed professionals comprising former players, the program proposes 2–3 weekly sessions with a 1:15 coach-to-player ratio, age-specific batches, quarterly evaluations with report cards, participation in local leagues, and interactions with first-team athletes over nutrition and mental conditioning. Functioning on child-friendly pitches, the UKSC Academy would carve out clear pathways for the talented players into national and international tournaments and elite clubs, apart from using Techno India's widespread network to form decentralised hubs all over West Bengal for the purpose of training, talent scouting, and engagement with the community.
