ASOS Rainbow Athletic Club's journey looks quite different from Kolkata's other Premier League teams. The club that is already been associated with Aditya Sports Academy for the last couple of years has set up a vision that is a proper way to develop footballers from the grass route as well as from the youth. 

Debjit Ghosh, who is working as the chief coach of Rainbow and its developmental project revealed, "We already have an advanced infrastructural support, a complete residential training school. We are already linked with the Khelo India project for the last five years. We have nine Khelo India boys so far and 12 more young boys who train under the 'play & pay' scheme. The age group is generally under-17 under-18, under-20. Our purpose is to make the total number of students 60. But our key motive is to transform these potential boys into more competent footballers who can graduate to the first team of Rainbow Athletic Club in the near future."

ASOS Rainbow is also planning to introduce separate residential training program for underprivileged but highly potential young footballers. The scouting program is on and it will start within its existing academy complex at Barasat, North 24 Parganas. 

Talking about the first team this season, the coach feels the average age of Rainbow is 25 to 27 years and it is blended with 60 to 70 percent experienced footballers and 40 to 30 percent youth, energetic boys. The coach is expecting that Rainbow will earn qualification for the Super-Six stage among the 26 teams, participating in the CFL this season. 

He is also hopeful about the emergence of a few of his team's young footballers in the forthcoming CFL. He exclaimed, "We have three-four potential footballers who have the ability to perform in the ISL shortly. 

But they have to be more hard-working. I can mention one's name like Urcha, a left-back from Assam. He is extremely potent. He can draw attention. A few more players are there also. But they must have to be hard-working."
