India's captain Mario Shelton shares his IC08 journey

Since one month, I've been staying in India's eastern state of Gujarat. I've taken the footy to a local park in Ahmedabad a few times (most recently 3 days ago) and every time the kiddies and a few others (16-24) were immediately interested in kicking the ball around. Unfortunately, there was such a crowd (approx. 100+) that things got a bit out of control - the locals just went mental and I had to flee the park. Teaching things was impossible. If anybody wants to start grassroots footy in India, he is well advised to have some Indian support.

Is the key to work with existing sports clubs for a local connection?

It could be worth contacting the AFL India guys in Kolkata for contacts
rugby/kabbadi/whatever clubs in Gujarat who'd be interested.

Yes, ball and ball-holder got out of the trouble...
by the way: Gujarat is the most western state - I had a geographical twister there.
