Sancta Maria International School Unveils Pickleball Courts in partnership with Gamepoint, Open to All

Hyderabad, July 21, 2025:  Sancta Maria International School, Serilingampally has launched state-of-the-art pickleball courts on its campus. The courts were inaugurated on Friday by Chairman B. Arogya Reddy and Principal Ms. Hemalatha Sanjay who were joined by Parents Staff and students for a friendly match.

On this occasion, Sancta Maria International School announced its partnership with Hyderabad’s leading sports organization, Gamepoint, to offer professional after-school coaching programs and to open up the school’s world-class sports infrastructure to the wider community

Speaking at the inauguration, Mr. B. Arogya Reddy, President and Chairman Saint Mary’s Educational Society, said” The new pickleball courts are a fantastic step toward promoting fitness, fun, and community bonding. These pickleball courts along with other world-class sports facilities will be operated by Gamepoint after school hours. Since the courts remain free early mornings and evenings, we wanted to open them up to the public — it’s our way of giving back to the community that continues to support us.”

Mr. Aditya Reddy, Co-founder and CEO of Gamepoint, said “This is the third school we’ve partnered with to manage sports infrastructure beyond school hours. Sancta Maria International School offers excellent facilities for badminton, volleyball, basketball, football, and cricket. With the addition of pickleball, students now have access to a full spectrum of major sports. Through this collaboration, we will provide professional coaching for both school students and children from outside. The wider community can also access these top-class facilities by booking through the Gamepoint App.”

“Pickleball is a fun and easy sport that doesn’t require prior experience or rigorous training. Anyone who’s played racket sports can pick it up quickly. It’s especially popular among corporate employees looking to unwind and have fun. Unlike competitive games like badminton, where there’s pressure to win, pickleball is more relaxed and inclusive — even if you don’t know how to play well, you’ll still enjoy it. That’s what makes it so appealing and why it’s gaining such rapid popularity across Hyderabad,” he added.

The launch of the new sports facilities is a meaningful step toward making quality sports infrastructure available to a broader community. By opening the facility to the public beyond school hours, Sancta Maria and Gamepoint aim to encourage healthier, more active lifestyles among parents, nearby residents, and working professionals. Plans are underway to organise beginner workshops, friendly matches, and community events to promote the sport further. With easy online booking and convenient access, the courts are expected to become a popular sports destination in Serilingampally and neighbouring areas.
