We are planning to have TPL (Targetball Premier League ) soon.I see a huge potential for this sport here and with the support of the government we will be able to make it a huge success.Within a short span ,it’s grown from season to season and has manifested itself in terms of more people playing with deeper engagement each season, so it certainly stands out as a successful sport with most of the neighboring countries playing Targetball now. The game was recognised by School Games Federation of India (SGFI) ” said Sonu Sharma, the Secretary-General of Bhartiya Targetball and Founder & President, Int Targetball Fed.The Federation is trying to create the ecosystem to encourage Targetball talent in the country.
