Sportobuddy as a brand is always innovating and introducing concepts to aid amateurs and professionals alike. It envisions to be a powerhouse for amateur sports and the fitness fraternity across India. The Anchor Super Colts Championship is one such platform that translates this ambition into action. The league acted as the ideal launchpad for local talent at the nascent level and also encouraged parents & children to come together in sharing this unique experience.

“In today’s ever changing world, kids have become accustomed to learning differently. They’re more technologically inclined and tend to spend more time indoors interacting with modern day gadgets. However, at Sportobuddy, we believe that while technology plays an active role in education, sports is just as important for a well-rounded personality. After all, it infuses values such as leadership, work-ethic and teamwork, preferably from an early age. A sporting event like our Anchor Super Colts Championship intends to tap into these tenets by inculcating an active, sporting way of life in children from ages as  early as our primary category, the U-8 all the way up to the U-16 category. And of course, there’s a lot more to come” said Sandeep Madhavan, Co-Founder, Sportobuddy.
