Gujarat Titans conclude Morbi leg of third edition of Junior Titans
Morbi, January 24
Gujarat Titans completed the Morbi leg of the third edition of Junior Titans on Saturday, continuing the franchise's community-driven initiative focused on promoting outdoor sport, physical activity and active lifestyles among children from an early age, according to a release.
Held at Om Shanti English Medium School, the one-day programme brought together over 1,000 children under 14 from 24 private and government schools across Morbi and the surrounding areas. The event featured a series of fun and inclusive activities designed to help children experience the joy of outdoor play.
Junior Titans has engaged over 10,000 children across Gujarat through its first two editions. Embodying the spirit of 'Let's Sport Out!', the initiative focuses on participation and inclusion, while strengthening Gujarat Titans' connection with communities beyond Ahmedabad.
Speaking after the event, Colonel Arvinder Singh, Chief Operating Officer of Gujarat Titans, said, "Junior Titans is focused on encouraging children to embrace outdoor play and physical activity through a positive and inclusive experience with sport. The participation we witnessed in Morbi highlights the growing enthusiasm for such programmes and reinforces our intent to take Junior Titans to more cities, strengthening our connection with communities."
The third edition of Junior Titans will now move to Amreli (January 31), followed by Anand (February 7), before concluding in Ahmedabad on February 14.

Great to see them focusing on smaller cities like Morbi and Amreli, not just Ahmedabad. Real talent comes from these towns. Building that grassroots connection is key for Indian sports.
Over 1000 kids is impressive! But I hope the focus remains on "fun and inclusive" and doesn't become too competitive at this age. Let them enjoy the game first.
As someone who works in education, this is exactly what we need. Physical activity is directly linked to better concentration and mental health in children. Kudos to Gujarat Titans for this sustained effort over three editions.
Good work, but a one-day event can only do so much. The real challenge is creating sustainable infrastructure and opportunities for regular play in these communities. Hope this is just the first step.
'Let's Sport Out!' is a fantastic motto. Reminds me of my childhood playing gully cricket all evening. Hope these kids make similar memories. Wishing the team all the best for Amreli and Anand!
