Indian multi-sport (including basketball) youth championship 'Sports For All' to be held in Hyderabad and Mumbai

Think of it as India's own domestic youth Olympics, a version of our National Games for the youth, but with more bombast and interaction than ever before. This is the mission with which that 'Sports For All' (SFA), India's first professional multi-sporting championship for the youth, will return with championship series in dozens of sports - including basketball! - in Hyderabad and Mumbai this year.

In Hyderabad, the SFA Championship will be held for the first time from November 4-17 at the Gachibowli Stadium and LB Stadium for school level athletes. In Mumbai, where the SFA Championship is returning for the third year, it will be held from December 6-17 at the city's DY Patil Sports Stadium.
