ArenaZ by Sportz Village Activates Underutilized School Infrastructure into Accessible Delhi NCR Sporting Destinations

Sportz Village, India’s largest school sports organisation with over two decades of experience in physical education and youth sports, today announced the launch of three new ArenaZ by Sportz Village venues across Delhi NCR at Florence International School, Greater Noida; Pine Crest School, Gurugram; and Abhinav Public School, Pitampura. The expansion strengthens ArenaZ’s presence in one of India’s most vibrant urban sports markets, unlocking professionally managed, high-quality play spaces for children, youth, families and working professionals seeking safe and accessible sports infrastructure beyond school hours.

ArenaZ is Sportz Village’s flagship venue network designed to address a long-standing gap in Indian sport: while schools house high-quality sports infrastructure, much of it remains underutilised after hours, even as nearby communities struggle to find convenient and reliable places to play.

Saumil Majmudar, Co-Founder, CEO and MD, Sportz Village, said, “This gap is a clear opportunity. At Sportz Village, through our physical education & sports programs and long-standing partnership with schools across India, we are in a unique position to open up existing sports facilities beyond school hours. With ArenaZ, we aim to make these spaces available as community sports hubs in the evenings and on weekends, while also helping schools make better use of their infrastructure.”

The three newly launched venues expand ArenaZ’s footprint through differentiated infrastructure tailored to local demand.

At Florence International School, Greater Noida, ArenaZ offers a premium multisport hub spread across approximately 20,000 sq. ft., featuring three pickleball courts, one box cricket arena, one football turf and one basketball court, along with changing rooms, washrooms and parking for 15–20 cars. The venue is designed for high-volume community play and can support an estimated 480 sessions on weekdays and 720 sessions on weekends.

At Pine Crest School, Gurugram, ArenaZ introduces a dedicated pickleball destination spanning approximately 10,000 sq. ft. with five world-class pickleball courts, supported by parking, food and beverage options and washrooms. The venue can host an estimated 400 sessions on weekdays and 600 sessions on weekends.

At Abhinav Public School, Pitampura, ArenaZ brings a racquet sports-led experience across approximately 15,000 sq. ft., featuring six badminton courts and one padel court, along with changing rooms, washrooms and parking for around 20 cars. Positioned as a differentiated court-sport venue, it can support an estimated 400 sessions on weekdays and 600 sessions on weekends.

Salim Bharmal, Business Head – ArenaZ, Sportz Village, said, “ArenaZ is built on a win-win model where schools partner with us to professionally manage underutilised sports facilities, while we take care of operations, maintenance and bookings end-to-end. This is another important step in our mission to get more people to play.”

The launches reflect ArenaZ’s broader strategy of building a distributed network of neighbourhood sports destinations that combine convenience, quality infrastructure and community engagement. From casual recreation and social play to racquet sports and organised pay-and-play bookings, the new venues are designed to meet the evolving needs of urban consumers looking for flexible and dependable ways to stay active.
