Bengaluru, February 10, 2025: Following the successful conclusion of the Junagadh, Bhavnagar, and Bharuch legs, Gujarat Titans brings the exciting second season of Junior Titans to Palanpur. The initiative, themed ‘Let’s Sport Out,’ is designed to spark a love for outdoor sports among children under 14 and was held at the School Of Science (SOS), Palanpur. The event saw an enthusiastic turnout, with over 950 children from 22 schools participating, including 12 government schools and two NGOs.
A unique initiative by Gujarat Titans, Junior Titans encourages children to participate in outdoor activities. The program seeks to establish a vibrant sports culture by nurturing a lifelong passion for outdoor sports from an early age. With four cities successfully taking part in the ongoing second season, the initiative will now move to Ahmedabad for its final stop. The inaugural edition reached over 5,000 children from 117 schools, inspiring children to actively participate in various sports, including cricket, football, and athletics.
Colonel Arvinder Singh, COO of Gujarat Titans, said: “Our vision with the Junior Titans is simple – we have to help our children realize the joy of playing outdoors. This is not only vital for their personal growth, but also helps them realize their sporting potential. We’re happy with the overwhelming response we’ve got so far across the four cities we’ve covered for the second season. As we approach our final city, Ahmedabad, we’re hopeful of getting more young kids joining us in making this season a grand success.”
The children engaged in several activities during the event in Palanpur that include Titan Says – an interesting warm-up activity, a LALIGA masterclass, a showcase of glorious moments of Gujarat Titans, and a fun quiz. They also took part in exciting challenges such as fitness exercises, facing the bowling machine, hitting the stumps, bowling and penalty kick. Overall, the children had enriching physical as well as interactive exercises to improve their sports acumen.
LALIGA, the top tier of the Spanish football league, continues its association for the second season of the program, leading the football workshops at these events. The ongoing season also has one of Japan’s most loved brands, Pokémon, giving children a chance to meet their beloved Pokémon character- Pikachu.
