G Force Tennis academy was set up in 2019 and was operating at Yelahanka with 6 clay courts . Had over 120+ players( kids + adults ) in a month using the facility .Also was a great tournament venue where players from across Bengaluru used to participate
With fast urbanization and land acquisition by BDA for making layouts without any consideration of sporting facility for the community , we were forced to shut down our academy as of end July 2023 .
There is someone up there looking down and because of that we have been lucky to have found an existing facility to move to :
PLAY.XP , near the airport Toll , Doddajala .
G Force Tennis would be managing the existing 4 clay courts there fand started operations from Aug 5th with a Prize Money Seniors Team Tournament .
Play.XP is an excellent sporting and fitness centre which has 4 clay courts , a 25 metre indoor swimming pool , fitness centre , gym and a cafe ( will be operational from Sep)
Have been able to retain all my coaches and manpower during this transition .
We are determined to re-establish the place to be as popular as was at Yelahanka .
Looking forward to the support and encouragement from all our well wishers , players , friends and family .

This is a petition for retaining G Force Tennis academy where it is and request BDA to not from acquire the land for layout development and deprive the players and community from the benefits of the academy.
BDA is doing the Dr Shivaram Karanth Layout land acquisition which is a project for building BDA plots from Dodballarpur to Hesarghatta side ( total 3000+ acres ) the survey number on which G Force sits on is part of the same .
This would take a while but in order to put a representation to retain G Force and build the layout around it felt we should do the petition!
Require your support to sign the petition and also please DO PUT COMMENTS ALSO AS IT WOULD ADD VALUE TO THE SAME . And your details .
