Prayagraj: Earlier it was the first and second wave of Kovid-19 epidemic which forced the players of the district to stay away from practice for one and a half years and now there is a shortage. cartons Which is causing problems for the players.
Although sports courts have opened since July 5 and players have also started arriving for practice, players are very worried, and it is not because of lack of facilities or fear of contracting the virus. The problem is that there is no coach to help players train or hone their skills.
The situation can be gauged from the fact that there is no coach other than Devi Prasad (athletic coach) at the Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium in the city. Similarly, there are three coaches in Amitabh Bachchan Sports Complex while coaches for many sports including badminton are not available.
Most of the coaches posted at Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium and Amitabh Bachchan Sports Complex were on ad-hoc. The services of ad-hoc trainers were terminated in March last year. After that, the sports courtyards were closed due to the pandemic. Since then, no trainers have been posted yet. Sources reveal that before the pandemic there were about two dozen coaches, but today there are only four coaches around.
The problem has also increased because now the deployment of trainers has to be done through GeM portal. Many trainers have openly opposed this process and the matter is pending in the court.
Trainers ready to work through GeM portal are being deployed in other districts. Even the instructors are opposing it. Satyendra Singh, who has been working in Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium for years, has been posted in Varanasi. Cricket coach Kaushik Pal has been sent to Kaushambi.
The situation is similar for events like Cricket, Hockey, Football, Badminton, Kabaddi, Weightlifting, Judo, Taekwondo, Volleyball, Handball, Boxing, Khokho, Wrestling, Squash, Gymnastics etc.
“Players are practicing at Madan Mohan Malviya Stadium and Amitabh Bachchan Sports Complex and coaches of several sports are to be deployed. As of now, only soft tennis coaches have come, and coaches for other sports are expected to come soon,” said the Regional Sports Officer (RSO). PrayagrajAnil Tiwari.
