Interesting that the article states there is around 7000 participants currently, (assuming) spread over seven states. If we assume that there is around 1000 per state that would be enough for at least 4 - 6 teams to be playing (with juniors) in some sort of league/competition in each state/centre.

North & South Kozhikode, Madurai Kangaroos, Matunga Tigers, Mahim Cats, Kolkata Wolverines and Kolkata Giants are some teams/clubs mentioned in other stories coming out of India.

Has anyone information about any teams/clubs and/or leagues/competitions that are current in India?

7000 participants puts the Indian participation numbers greater than USA and pretty well above all of mainland Europe as well, surely there must be competitions other than this National Championship.

A good question or two, Cam. Time to call in Sudip I think to clarify overall national picture. This story did not come from AFL India, so could be some level of Chinese Whispers. Will see what I can find as it would be an excellent follow-up to this article.

Yeah it's often (in other countries we've seen this) kids exposed to the game through Auskick style events that get added in that inflate the numbers. But still very good progress it seems.---
