Institute of Sports Sciences Punjab

Welcome to the Institute of Sports Sciences Punjab (ISSP), a pioneering initiative aimed at certifying and enhancing the skills of coaches in Punjab. With a vision to fill the void of a government-certified coaching institution, ISSP stands as a beacon of legitimacy and excellence in the realm of sports coaching.

Challenges in the Coaching Landscape

Punjab lacked a government institution dedicated to certifying coaches, leaving a gap filled by numerous private organizations offering certifications. This raised concerns about the legitimacy of certifications, prompting the need for an independent licensing and certifying authority at the government level. ISSP emerges as the solution to bridge this gap and bring credibility to coaching certifications.
