FAQs
- How do I register for Khelo India School Games 2026?
- Athlete registration runs through the National Sports Repository System (NSRS) at nsrs.kheloindia.gov.in. Schools usually need to be registered as a sports promotion centre first. Squadd does not accept Khelo India entries.
- Is Squadd the official Khelo India website?
- No. Khelo India is a Government of India programme. Squadd is an independent sports community app. This page is a guide that links you to official portals and helps you train.
- What is the age group for Khelo India School Games?
- School Games typically cover school students in the Under-17 pathway (about ages 10–17). Confirm the exact age bands and school eligibility on kheloindia.gov.in / NSRS before you register.
- Is there a registration fee?
- Public guides report no registration fee for athletes on NSRS. Always verify current rules on the official portals.
- How can Squadd help after I register?
- Use Squadd to book turfs and courts, join practice games, and find players or trainers near you. That is training and community — not official selection or registration.
