Hi Friends,
Few weeks ago,I have just discussed the possibility of starting a volleyball league in kerala with jay.Now,that has become a reality!Hooray,this one of the happiest moments in my life.Mumbai based SportzConsult and Kerala State Volleyball Association are initiating a “Kerala Volleyball League” termed as India's First Professional Volleyball League.Following is the link to the news in SportzConsult's website:

Another news item in manoramaonline says that Mammooty will be the brand Ambassador of the league and teams will be owned by franchises like IPL.Teams would come from districts such as Thiruvananthapuram,Alapuzha,Kottayam,Idukki,Kannur etc(It is surprising that they dont include Pathanamthitta in the list1) and will start in 2010 January 23.Following is the link to the news in malayalam:

Hope this will end the cash crunch in Indian volleyball and propel it to higher echelons.
kerala Volleyball League A Reality!

Re: kerala Volleyball League A Reality!
If I don't see a Changanassery Chaatthaans and Pathanamthitta Padres in the league, I will be very disappointed!
Nice news.
