Tata Trusts outreach program, which is one of the biggest in the country is for young (both boys and girls) footballers in northeast especially in Manipur, Mizoram and Meghalaya.
Under this initiative Tata Trusts in collaboration with state governments of Mizoram and Manipur is planning to provide world class football training and development opportunities to 4500 children between 6-14 years across 90 grassroots football centres (GFC) as part of its primary level intervention, according to Biswanath Sinha, head of sports, Tata Trusts.
In the second level, talented children stationed at the newly developed Centre of excellence (CoE) will be given world-class training so that some of them can be sent to the main Athletic de Madrid Football Academy in Madrid (Spain) for further training of three more years, Biswanath said.
In case of Mizoram, the training had already started at its 60 GFCs in Mizoram since the last three years while in case of Manipur training has started at 25 GFCs(out of 30 GFCs) only recently. Each GFC will accommodate 50 children including girls.
“The main objective is to identify young talents so that we can nurture them in time to compete in world arena,” says Biswanath. “Because here, we realize the hidden talents of our footballers only when they are 15-16 years.”
On Dec 17, the Manipur government signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Tata Trusts to set up a CoE to provide the best of football facilities and guidance besides education to some selected children.
A team of Tata Trusts inspected existing infrastructures in and around Imphal to start the programme by December end or early January next year.
Currently 40 talented children were provided intensive training at the newly set up CoE at Aizawl since the last 9 months.
Interestingly Tata Trusts in collaboration with the Meghalaya football body had been organizing baby league for children between 6-13 years involving 60 teams from May 2018 onwards as part of the ongoing grassroots level football training programmes.
According to S Maniratan, a football coach in Manipur, around 60 footballers from Manipur alone playing in the Indian-league and Indian Super League while 300 others are playing for premier football clubs including central security forces etc
Losers !!! First they deliberately put I-league in Star Sports 3 channel to reduce the viewership. still surprised by the following, they have decided to sabotage further by not showing the matches !!!
Indian football: AIFF revises ‘bone age’ eligibility criteria for junior and sub-junior leagues
Bone age is a clearer indicator of a child’s biological and structural maturity than their date of birth.
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Saturday announced a one-time revision of its existing bone age eligibility criteria for the sub-junior and junior leagues.
AIFF revised the existing bone age eligibility criteria from ‘13.40’ to ‘14.00’ for the Sub-Junior league and from ‘15.40’ to ‘16.00’ for the Junior league.
Bone age is the degree of maturation of a child’s bones. It is a clearer indicator of their biological and structural maturity than their date of birth.
Last year in October, the AIFF had decided to conduct youth tournaments based on the athletes’ bone age than their chronological age. In July, it had approved the the bone age determination program – Tanner-Whitehouse3 (TW3), which is used, among other sports bodies, by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
After receiving the initial reports for the ongoing TW3 tests, Chairman of the AIFF Sports Medical Committee Vece Paes informed the chairman and the committee members of the AIFF League Committee that many players’ bone age results had shown readings higher than 13.4 and 15.4, which were the prescribed eligibility benchmarks to participate in Sub-Junior League and Junior League, respectively.
Paes explained that this has happened primarily because of the player registrations that the teams had already done prior to the circulation of the detailed protocol document. As a result, teams registered quite a few players who were born in the first half of the calendar year of 2003 (TW3 test cut-off date for Junior League) and 2005 (TW3 test cut-off date for Sub-Junior League).
To address that issue, the AIFF League Committee has now revised the criteria from to the new one.
However, the committee informed the AIFF administration that this adjustment was viewed as a one-time exception only and not to set any precedence of such nature for the future.
“Biologically, it is possible that someone’s skeletal maturity will be faster than others which is why the bone age ratings can be higher than others and in some cases the skeletal maturity is slower and hence the ratings can be lower as well, when compared to the chronological age,” Paes explained.
“However, the bone age ratings are not meant to be construed as a challenge to the veracity of the chronological age, as claimed by the youngsters and their parents/guardians,” he added.
AIFF President Praful Patel said that the test is just to ensure that players of a similar bone/skeletal maturity play together.
“When a boy or girl is deemed ineligible under this test, we are not stating that the boy or girl is not what his or her age documents are claiming to be. We are just saying that his or her skeletal maturity is higher than the specified criteria for a particular tournament,” he said.
AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das said the players who have become ineligible to participate in either of the leagues, based on the bone age ratings, will not be penalised.
@DEFENCE123 No real football fan cares about shitty unrecognized league called ISL.. Its butt of jokes for most foreigners just check comments on few British articles on ISL.
If this ISL teams gain top status by sporting merit.. I think then nobody will speak against them.. but these guys want to bulldoze ILeague by money power. That's just unacceptable... If they have the guts, give these Ileague teams a chance to fight.. a chance to survive. That's the decency.
