Former Indian Athletic Coach
Naranammalpuram Sports Club is honoured to have Mr. Frank Paul Jeyaseelan as its guiding mentor — a distinguished figure in Indian athletics whose coaching career spans decades of excellence at the highest levels of the sport.
Having served as a coach for the Indian Athletic Team, Mr. Frank Paul brings an unparalleled depth of experience, technical expertise, and a champion's mindset to our young athletes.

Under his guidance, our coaching programs follow world-class methodologies, ensuring that every athlete at Naranammalpuram receives the same calibre of training that has produced India's finest track-and-field champions.
The foundation of our club was laid in 2007 by Dr.Sundaramoorthy, a passionate educator who believed that rural children deserved the same opportunities as those from larger cities. At a time when organized sports opportunities were limited and participation in competitive athletics was uncommon, he envisioned a future where village children could excel on sporting platforms across the country.
The journey began with Kho-Kho competitions, where young students from the village achieved remarkable success at the district level. These early victories inspired greater ambitions and paved the way for structured athletic training programs.
Recognizing the immense potential of rural youth, the club expanded its focus to athletics. Through consistent training, discipline, and unwavering commitment, Naranammalpuram athletes began achieving outstanding results at district and state competitions.
Over the years, the club has nurtured numerous talented athletes, helping many secure medals at the national level and several represent India in international competitions. What started with a handful of students has evolved into a sports ecosystem that attracts aspiring athletes from various districts across Tamil Nadu.
