UMOYA Sports : Play Beyond Barriers

Umoya Sports champions the attitude by bringing sports in lives of children with disabilities and promote inclusion through sports

Umoya, derives its meaning from the African language Zulu which translates to “Spirit”. Umoya Sports is a non-profit organization aiming to build an inclusive society by bringing people with disabilities and able bodied individuals together through sports. We inspire to create equal opportunities for all and use sports as a platform to develop life skills and healthy habits among people with disabilities that will help them socially. We hope to build friendships by enabling people with Disability and able bodied individuals to participate in sports together – bond over common love; understand and appreciate other’s problems, perspectives. We believe such levelled platforms will build empathy and awareness about people with disability, thereby bringing a change in the society and encourage inclusion.

Many congratulations to Team India for their incredible victory at the Gothia Special Olympics Trophy 2025.

This win is a proud moment for the entire country—but especially for us at Umoya Sports.

As part of our Career Incubator program, The Second Innings, our fellows received a powerful gift: GRIT, a book authored by our advisor and mentor, Ferose VR.

This inspiring autobiography tells the story of Vishwas KS, a para-athlete whose journey of resilience and self-belief will ignite a spark within our Umoya Fellows, encouraging them to believe in their own strength, their own stories, and their potential to overcome.

Story of Vishwas helped our fellows to reflect on their own life journeys, to learn from Vishwas’s path and his challenges, and to set bold goals for themselves. 💪💫

Thank you, Ferose, for sharing your wisdom, your support, and a story that will deeply resonate and inspire transformation in our fellows.

Umoya Team on Retreat Mode!

Time to pause, recharge, and realign—so we return stronger, sharper, and ready to create deeper impact.

‘A’, a National Gold Medalist in swimming
‘B’, an International Powerlifting Athlete
‘R’, an International Rowing Athlete

We have met many wonderful such athletes. What’s common among these incredible athletes is that they all are athletes with disabilities and that despite their remarkable achievements, they—like many others—struggle to find sustainable careers or livelihood, let alone opportunities in sports, the very field of their expertise.

Umoya Sports is really excited to launch ‘The Second Innings’ (TSI) – to address this critical gap for persons with disabilities (PwD).

The Second Innings (TSI) is a first-of-its-kind, fully paid, 15-month sports career incubator program for PwD in India.

The program aims to empower persons with disabilities by leveraging their experience and passion for sports, turning it into a force for transformation.

This is your chance to lead, inspire, and create lasting impact.

Applications open now—don’t miss out!
