TUMKUR BASKETBALL - SUMPOORNA CUP 2009!

Promoting the game of basketball is no more a difficult job. The hoop manaics are growing in number every day.

ANNOUNCE A TOURNAMENT AND EVERYONE PRETENDS TO BE THE N.B.A. MOST VALUABLE PLAYER!

But when 4th standard students call you up late in the night to inform that they also have a BASKETBALL TEAM - the promoter in me is delirious with delight. What next ? 3rd and 2nd standard students---we too want a tournament.

In all my years of teaching basketball I have strived to get younger and younger players to start off playing. The stirring of my soul speaks - A CHILD AT PLAY IS GOD AT WORK.

I hear small `negatives' - tests are there; ground permission is difficult; some promises have been belied - YET TUMKUR WILL HAVE ITS' TRYST WITH BASKETBALL - SUMPOORNA CUP 2009 is the answer to all those doubting thomases. When the going gets tough - the tough get going, whoever said this - had envisaged the paradox of person promoting sports in India.

TUMKUR SHALL HAVE ONE DAY A N.B.A.PLAYER! IS IT YOU?
