Alam al-Khayal runs various sports initiatives to supplement education and develop an active and athletic society in Pakistan. These initiatives include sports programs, competitions, research and documentation. Our sport program helps students from the most underprivileged schools in the country participate in high-level and elite sports. Children from 4 yrs – 18 yrs are taught sports such as tennis, badminton, volleyball, handball, football, hockey, martial arts, indigenous games and small area games. Training is conducted by academically-qualified coaches who teach the science, rules and regulations of each sport along with targeted training by fitness trainers, physiotherapists and nutritionists. The program started with 300 children and now has grown to serve over 5,000 children – a number which is steadily increasing. AKF also sponsors and organizes tennis tournaments on the district, national and international level in order to identify future champions, create an environment where children are encouraged to excel, and provide level-playing fields to encourage future partnerships. AKF has also started, in cooperation with the Asian and Pakistan Tennis Federations, the globally-acclaimed Junior Tennis Initiative Program of the international Tennis Federation. Using international-standard equipment, the JTI Program caters to both public and private school-children from 3 yrs – 11 yrs old.
