Basketball in Parivaar has become a primary sport for past 4 years where over 400 children are currently participating actively under rigorous and systematic coaching. We have a pool of players who can compete in tournaments of all age groups starting from Senior (around 19) to Junior Levels (under 12) for both Boys and Girls.

Hi5 Youth Foundation has been playing a very important role in the success of this whole Basketball Program. Currently we have 4 male residential coaches and 3 female residential coaches at Parivaar Bengal institutions. Similarly, there are 4 coaches (2 males and 2 females) at our Sandalpur campus. They are rigorously selecting the children at the base level and rigorously training for competituve performances.

The coaches take two sessions a day for all the children and also conduct special practice sessions during the tournaments.

In the past one-year Basketball Teams of Bengal has participated in 22 different school, district, state and national level tournaments all over the country in which both boys and girls teams have participated in various age groups. The boys U-14 team won the Junior NBA tournament in 2023 as well as in 2024 where teams from all over India participate. The girls U-16 team won the Inter-School Girls'’ League Sub junior tournament. In almost all the tournaments, all our teams consistently qualified among the top 4 teams. Some of the performances in these tournaments caught they eye of the State Selectors and they selected them to represent the State Team in School Nationals and Youth Nationals. Till date 17 such children have been selected to represent the West Bengal state which allowed them to participate in national level tournaments all over the country. In last inr year children have travelled to Punjab, Chattisgarh, Bhubaneswar, Uttarakhand, Telengana, Andhra Pradesh and many other places.

Some of the players who have been excellently performing are : Amir Hembram, 14 year old, has been a standout player for the past one year. He recently won the Most Valuable Player of the tournament in the recently concluded Junior NBA tournament 2024 where teams from all over the country participated. After that his graph went upwards and was selected to represent the state at just 14 years of age. Prasenjit Soren, 16 year old, is also a very talented player who have fought his way through the ranks of school level tournaments and has been selected to represent the state level and national level tournaments by some scintillating performances in the tournaments he participated. He has captained our team in the senior most category of School Level tournaments. Similarly, our resident girl, Baishaki Mardi has been a stand-out player among all the girls who have been selected multiple times to represent the state in Youth National tournaments. Baishakhi hails from a remote village of Birbhum district of West Bengal and is just 15 years of age. Lalita Singh, girl has represented the state in Youth National Tournaments multiple times. She hails from a remote village of Jharkhand, like Amir Hembram.

We are extremely hopeful that the graph of Parivaar’s Basketball Program will remain in the upward trajectory for a long period of time and more talented players will come up the ranks and represent the country in several prestigious tournaments in the near future.
