Breaking Barriers and Building Careers
The WKL’s mission goes beyond simply hosting a kabaddi league. It aims to be a catalyst for change by helping women establish successful careers in sports, something that has historically been difficult due to societal stereotypes and limited opportunities for women in Indian sports. Through this initiative, WKL hopes to challenge these norms and create a world where women are seen as equals on the field.
The league’s approach is designed to nurture talent from grassroots to elite levels, providing a platform for athletes to gain professional exposure, improve their skills, and build a long-term career in kabaddi. The trials are the first step toward realizing this vision, offering players from all backgrounds a chance to compete at a national level.
