Director’s Desk – A Message from Founder Director Nitesh Singh

Hello Everyone,

It’s an honor to share my journey with you here at Outplay Sports Foundation. This foundation is more than just a venture for me; it’s a reflection of my lifelong love for sports, my sense of duty toward our nation, and my commitment to ensuring that every child experiences the joy and discipline that sports bring.

My path to this point has been anything but conventional. As a student at Thakur College, I was more than just an NCC cadet – I was a Senior Under Officer with the Army Wing, and my time in the National Cadet Corps was transformative. It was in the NCC that I discovered a part of myself that thrived on discipline, challenge, and camaraderie. Fighting, pushing boundaries, and making a statement became second nature to me, and I wasn’t afraid to try new things or test my limits. Whether it was in sports or in life, I believed in leaving a mark, in making every effort count.

Throughout my journey, I had the privilege of working alongside incredible friends and colleagues, like Shailesh Tripathi and Vikas Singh from the Navy Unit at Thakur College, and Pravin Chirmure, who brought his own passion and dedication to everything we did. Together, we shared a common dream – to make a difference through sports, to instill the same discipline, courage, and joy in others that we experienced.

As I moved forward, my passion for sports merged with a professional journey in SEO and event planning. Event management, for me, is more than just organizing activities; it’s about creating experiences, building connections, and giving people something memorable. My background in event planning has taught me how to turn visions into reality, and at Outplay Sports Foundation, my vision is to make sports accessible and enjoyable for every child, irrespective of their background or resources.

Outplay Sports Foundation is our way of giving back. Through our programs, we aim to nurture not only the physical strength of young athletes but also their character, confidence, and mental resilience. We want every child to feel the rush of sports, to experience the thrill of competition, and, most importantly, to understand the values that sports teach us. We are committed to creating an environment where every young person can find joy, discipline, and purpose in sports.

One initiative close to my heart is our Digital Detox Program. In today’s world, where screens and digital devices dominate our lives, it’s essential for young people to reconnect with themselves, their surroundings, and each other. Our Detox Program encourages children and families to step away from screens, engage in physical activities, and experience the world beyond technology. This program is not only about fitness but also about mental well-being and building meaningful connections.

Through Outplay Sports Foundation, we’re working to create a legacy of sports and wellness that goes beyond the field. Our foundation is a place where young people can learn, grow, and become the best versions of themselves. It’s a place where they can feel the same joy and pride in sports that we did in our NCC days, where we learned to balance fun with responsibility, friendship with discipline, and passion with purpose.

To the next generation, I want to say – this is your journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Outplay Sports Foundation is a platform for you to explore, to push your limits, and to make memories that will last a lifetime. Together, let’s build a future where every child has the opportunity to find joy, strength, and purpose in sports.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Let’s make “Sports for All” a reality, one game at a time.

With respect and determination,

Nitesh Singh
