IPL 2022 champions Gujarat Titans wrapped up the third edition of their Junior Titans program in Ahmedabad. More than 5,100 children from over 100 government and private schools across five cities took part. The initiative aimed to promote physical activity among children under 14 through non-competitive sessions and interactive games.
Colonel Arvinder Singh, the Chief Operating Officer of Gujarat Titans, emphasized that the program’s success was gauged by inspiring children to embrace sports rather than just focusing on numbers. He highlighted the importance of motivating children to engage in sports beyond cricket.
Singh attributed the program’s success to the credibility of the franchise, especially in smaller cities where children have limited exposure to professional sports organizations. The franchise’s focus on encouraging sports participation and building confidence and teamwork resonated well with the children.
Maintaining a uniform standard across cities, regardless of size or infrastructure differences, was a key aspect of the program. Singh emphasized that the events were organized with equal attention to detail in both tier-one and smaller cities. The initiative aimed to provide equal opportunities for children from all backgrounds to engage in sports activities.
Singh expressed satisfaction with the positive response from smaller cities, where access to quality sporting facilities is limited compared to larger urban areas. The franchise’s efforts to conduct events consistently across different cities aimed to bridge the gap in sporting opportunities for children across various regions.
