In a pulsating wave of anticipation, the Jalna District Kabaddi Association is set to unveil the future stars of Kumar and Kumari kabaddi, as they gear up for a selection test on November 27th at the spirited grounds of Somthana.
Hosted by the dynamic Jagdamba Sports Board, the selection test promises a showdown of raw talent, kicking off at 10 am on Monday. This test isn’t just a local skirmish but the gateway to the prestigious state championship kabaddi tournament, slated to echo cheers in Thane from December 1st to 5th.
In a unique twist, the mantra is ‘One village, one team.’ From spirited sports board teams to energetic school and college squads, the arena is set for a spectacle. Individual brilliance, however, takes a back seat in this team-centric extravaganza. Only players born on or after January 1, 2004, are eligible to embark on this kabaddi journey.
The heartbeat of this initiative, Jalna District Kabaddi Association President Bhanudas Palve, alongside the district’s sports pioneers – Executive Nandkishore Khardekar, Treasurer Gopikishan Sikchi, Vice President Ashok Hazare, and Joint Secretary Madhavi Kale – extend an earnest invitation to all local talents. Their rallying cry: Let the spirit of kabaddi reverberate through every corner of Jalna.
This selection test isn’t merely a stage; it’s a launchpad for dreams. As the district assembles its warriors for the impending championship, the air is thick with excitement. The President and his team are relentless in their call for participation, urging the district’s budding athletes to seize the opportunity.
For those seeking more details, a lineup of stalwarts is ready to guide. Reach out to the dynamic duo B. J. Patole and Prof. Devesh Pathrikar, the strategic minds of Mahesh Khardekar and Prof. Bhujang Dawkar, the stalwart supporters Sanjay Yelwante, Rajabhau Thorat, Santosh Nagve Patil, Punjabrao Wagh, Ambadas Gite, and the ever-reliable Ravi Dhage. They stand as the pillars of information, ready to bridge the gap between aspiring talents and the arena where dreams become reality.
As the sun rises on Somthana, all eyes are on the battlefield where dreams will be woven into the fabric of Jalna’s sporting legacy. May the warriors emerge, the cheers resonate, and the kabaddi spirit soar to new heights. The stage is set, the stakes are high – let the games begin!
