Our Sports Journey

From Passion to Profession: Serving Athletes Since 2015. Your Success is Our Mission.

Our Sporting Beginnings

Founded in 2015 by former national-level athletes Rohan Sharma and Priya Singh, Next Play was born from a simple realization: great athletes deserve great equipment. Having experienced firsthand how the right gear can elevate performance, we set out to create a destination where every athlete could find exactly what they need.

What started as a small 500 sq.ft. store in a sports complex has grown into one of the region's most trusted sports equipment suppliers. Our founders' competitive backgrounds ensure that every product we stock meets professional standards while remaining accessible to beginners and enthusiasts.

In the early days, we personally tested every bat, ball, and racquet that came through our doors. This hands-on approach became our trademark - we don't just sell sports equipment; we understand it, we test it, and we stand by it.

Today, while we serve thousands of customers across multiple cities, we've never lost our athlete-first philosophy. Our team still includes former players who provide expert advice, and we still personally test new products before adding them to our collection.
