Anand, February 7

Gujarat Titans brought the third edition of Junior Titans to Anand today at IB Patel English School, continuing the franchise's grassroots initiative aimed at promoting outdoor sports and physical activity among children under the age of 14.

The Anand leg saw enthusiastic participation from around 1,000 children, representing 20 government and private schools from the city and nearby regions. Conceptualised as a fun and welcoming experience, the event featured a variety of activity-led sessions that encouraged children to move, play and engage with sport in an enjoyable, pressure-free environment, as per a press release from GT.

Embodying the spirit of 'Let's Sport Out!', Junior Titans has been developed as a non-competitive programme that prioritises inclusion and participation, using sport as a platform to build confidence, teamwork and positive lifestyle habits from an early age. In the first two editions, the initiative reached over 10,000 children across Gujarat, helping the franchise build meaningful connections with local communities beyond Ahmedabad.

Speaking after the event, Colonel Arvinder Singh, Chief Operating Officer of Gujarat Titans , said, "Each city we visit brings its own vibrant energy, and Anand was no different. The enthusiasm shown by the children and schools reinforces why the initiatives like Junior Titans are important. Our focus remains on creating simple, enjoyable sporting experiences that motivate children to stay active and develop a natural connection with outdoor play."

The Anand leg marked the penultimate stop of the ongoing edition of Junior Titans. The initiative will conclude with its final leg in Ahmedabad on February 14.

As a parent from Vadodara, I wish they would bring this programme here too. The non-competitive focus is key. Too much pressure on winning from a young age kills the joy of sport. More power to Junior Titans!

Great to see the franchise connecting with communities beyond Ahmedabad. 1000 kids is a solid number! Building that grassroots connection is how you build a loyal fanbase for the long term. Well done.

While the intent is good, I hope they are ensuring equal participation for girls. Sometimes these "sports outreach" programmes can become very boy-centric. The article doesn't specify, but inclusion should mean everyone.

'Let's Sport Out!' is a great motto. Physical activity is dropping so much among kids these days. Initiatives like this are a much-needed breath of fresh air. Hope other IPL franchises take note and launch similar programmes in their states.

Wonderful to see Anand getting this spotlight! It's not just a dairy city anymore. 😄 Events like this put smaller cities on the map and give local kids experiences they'll remember. Looking forward to the Ahmedabad finale!
