What We Train
9 Olympic Disciplines
Sport Varieties
Explore Every Discipline
Track & Field
Uganda's crown jewel — Stephen Kiprotich (marathon gold, London 2012), Joshua Cheptegei (5000m gold, Tokyo 2020), Peruth Chemutai (steeplechase gold, Tokyo 2020). The largest and most proven national talent pool.
Swimming
Severely underdeveloped — only one Olympic-standard pool currently exists in all of Kampala. Nestloni's Academy seizes a generational first-mover advantage in Ugandan aquatics.
Football
A mass participation base of millions. Our FUFA partnership creates a direct, structured pathway for Academy graduates to professional clubs and the Uganda Cranes national team.
Basketball
NBA Africa presence and the Basketball Africa League are creating rapidly growing international exposure for Ugandan talent through the Uganda Silverbacks.
Tennis
African tennis development is accelerating. ATP/ITF Junior circuits are regionally accessible, but elite coaching infrastructure in Uganda remains severely limited.
Volleyball
Strong school-level participation across Uganda. Regional CAVB competitions are accessible, but elite training facilities for the sport are almost nonexistent nationally.
Boxing
Uganda has a proud regional boxing tradition — Commonwealth Games medal contenders are regularly produced from within the country, with a strong grassroots base to build on.
Gymnastics
Virtually undeveloped across Uganda. An enormous blue-ocean opportunity to build foundational skills and Pan-African competition presence in gymnastics from the ground up.
Judo & Martial Arts
The Uganda Judo Federation is active with African Judo Championship participation. A growing base of school-level practitioners needs elite infrastructure to reach the next level.
