Samantha Instagram – To the little girl in class 3 who longed to play with her brothers, but couldn’t, ‘cos only boys could play rough, and she was ‘too tiny’.
To the young girl in class 8 who was told to focus on getting a 100 in Math—because volleyball could wait.
To the class 10 prefect who toiled away, putting academics first because board exams were ‘priority.’
I’ve grown up to realize the need for sport, the need for movement, and the belief that everyone can—and should—play.
Picking up a pickleball team wasn’t just a decision; it was a conviction. A nod to the younger me and a commitment to every little girl who’s been told she can’t. We’re here to prove that we absolutely can.
Movement is essential for a healthier, fitter, and happier India—and it starts with believing in the power of play.
