Hey! Can you believe we are entering the last few days of 2021?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It just feels like yesterday when we started the Dugout<\/a> – a weekly newsletter from the house of enJogo<\/a>. Within a few months, the Dugout has become the medium to share our experiences and know-how with the world. The mission remains astute – to enable every child to play and engage with sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last couple of months, we wrote about the journey of current and ex BBFS students like Arjun Pandey<\/a>, Rohit Kumar<\/a>, Shlok Shetty<\/a>. Simultaneously, we also spoke to our coaches, Vikas Rawat<\/a>, Sangeetha Das<\/a>, and discussed the importance of building a sporting culture<\/a>, the right age to start playing<\/a>, and why we are building a sports company<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The endeavor is to share the triumphs and tribulations from the yesteryears and continuously write our learnings and findings of over a decade in grassroots sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been an incredible experience so far. But the ending was a cherry on top of a cake! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ending the year with a high <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The students of Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools (BBFS)<\/a> had an exceptional tour to end 2021. From 19th-24th December, 250+ BBFS students flew to Barnes School & Junior College, a BBFS Residential Academy<\/a> in Maharashtra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The students traveled from various cities to participate in Bhaichung Bhutia Champions Cup 2021, the annual football competition for BBFS students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The week was spent not only engaging with football, but players enjoyed a plethora of other activities. It started with morning hikes to a nearby sunrise point, the football tournament, swimming sessions, basketball, excursions to notable places, evening engagements, and all that jazz!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our co-founder, Mr. Bhaichung Bhutia, traveled to meet all the players. And he spent time with Ugen, his son, who studies at Vedas International School<\/a>, a BBFS Residential Academy in Delhi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to witness our student-athletes at BBCC 2021. It seems they had a lot of fun. I thank my team members in Delhi and the rest of India for making the execution so flawless. I can see many talented players are taking part in the competition, and our end goal is to help these players compete at the highest level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in my days, we did not have these competitions. The only tournament I played was the Subroto Cup, and I was spotted from there. Competitive exposure with a balanced curriculum that emphasizes sports and academics is the need of the hour. And I am happy that BBFS has been providing the same for many years now.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also extend my heartfelt gratitude to Barnes School & Junior College for their support. I hope, in the future, our association will only get better,\u201d said Mr. Bhutia, when asked about his take on the competition and its participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More often, Bhaichung was spotted assessing the young players and scribbling pointers. Well, who knows? 2022 might turn out to be grand for some of our boys and girls!    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before letting go, we wanted to thank all of you for showing trust, sharing love, and encouraging us with honest opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new year resolution is to grow the newsletter manifold and reach more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please share the newsletter with your friends and family if you like what we do, and ask them to subscribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish you a very happy new year in advance. Enjoy to the fullest, and let\u2019s have a sporty start to 2022! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
