For Junior age agroup, Coca Cola Tournament is there. Anyways Goa, bengal do not send best players. so it becomes an opportunity for fringe players from strong states to get noticed along with players from states such as Tamil Nadu, Punjab, kerala who do not have I-League. Entry in I-League is restricted, so Santosh Trophy provides opportunity to some players to get noticed by I-League clubs.
AP team is shite, has got 2 former India Junior probables nothing more than that. I feel there are much better players in state but sadly there is no structure or platfrom to grow here.
Also they have been training in pathetic ground(Gymkhana grounds).
