Promoting Sports at Grassroots Level

Like, many other Indians, I am also suffering from Cricket overdose. Though I still love cricket and like players like MSD and Sachin, but I don't advocate the biased attitude of Indians towards Cricket as compare to other Sports like Football, Basketball, Volleyball and others.

In pursuit of equality, Indiakhelo.com, announced Indian Regional League (IRL) for Basketball and Volleyball for schools, colleges and apartment complexes. Commonfloor.com will be co-organising the tournament. The tournament will host more than 150 teams across 35 colleges, 35 schools and 20 apartment complexes. Some of the apartments who have confirmed their participation are IDEB Springfields, Ferns Rainbow Drive, Sobha Jasmine, Purva Fountainsquare, Suncity Corporate Leisure, L&T Southcity Apartments, etc. The teams will play their matches on Dec 5th and Dec 12th at Jayanagar stadium to announce the final winners.
