Two young athletes from the Chance2Sports Kanga Kids program secure spots on the Indian team at the 2025 Asian Junior Trials
Pune: 26/05/2025 – Chance2Sports (C2S), the grassroots talent development platform, is proud to announce that two of its young athletes from the Kanga Kids program — Vasundhara and Anika — have earned their spots on the Indian team following standout performances at the Asian Junior Trials 2025.
When a young girl like Vasundhara from a small town rises to the top in an elite sport like squash, it speaks volumes about how the game is expanding to every corner of the country. Her journey is a true inspiration.
Hailing from Kalam—a small town with limited access to high-performance sports infrastructure—Vasundhara’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. She recently finished third in the Under-15 category and earned a place in the Indian national squad.
Her achievement is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when raw talent is given the right opportunity and support. Vasundhara represents the future of Indian squash—and the promise of countless young athletes waiting to be discovered.
Despite the financial challenges that come with self-sponsored participation at this level, Vasundhara’s family stood firmly behind her, and so did the Chance2Sports ecosystem. The platform continues to mentor and support athletes like her, ensuring that dreams aren’t lost due to a lack of access or support.
Adding to the celebration was Anika, who clinched the top spot in the U-17 category, emerging as the No. 1 player in her division. At just 15, this golden girl continues to reach new heights, impressing with her calm presence and natural leadership. A proud ambassador for the Kanga Kids initiative, Anika is now firmly established as one of the most successful racket sports players to emerge from Pune.
Speaking about this, Abhinav Sinha, coach of Chance2Sports, said, “Vasundhara’s story is why we started Chance2Sports, to discover untapped potential and create real pathways for athletes from every corner of the country. Her performance, her family’s belief, and her determination inspire us all. And with Anika continuing to raise the bar at the top level, we are seeing the vision of Kanga Kids come to life: where talent, no matter where it comes from, gets the chance to shine on the biggest stages.”
The Kanga Kids programme by Chance2Sports focuses on early-stage talent scouting, technical training, and providing competitive exposure across India. Vasundhara and Anika’s selection to represent India reflects their individual drive and the structured support system built around them.
