Doha, Qatar: It was an expected victory for NVBS Doha Qatar players Nivedya Aji, Adam Noujas, Andriya Reetha Sojan, Sanjanaa Nakulan, Riya Kurian & Adlyn Mary Sojan in the Trivandrum District Badminton Championship 2024, India Kerala. A team of 19 players under 3 coaches and 4 parents travelled to Trivandrum, Kerala, India to participate in the championship. Last year, 14 players travelled and achieved success in the District Championship unexpectedly. However, in 2024, with the confidence and efforts of NVBS management, we were assured that the kids would achieve even more.

It was indeed a challenging task to gather players from NVBS from various states in India to take part in the Trivandrum District Tournament Championship. Registering and obtaining the mandatory ID for each player to participate in a single district tournament required significant effort. With the dedication of the NVBS management, all the players were successfully registered for the Trivandrum District Badminton Championship. It was challenging for the NVBS management to get the kids to participate in various district tournaments because we need to send the coaches along with the players. Only because to gain coaches support to the players, the management decided to select one specific district, which is the most competitive district in the field that is Trivandrum District, Kerala India.

NVBS management was confident that our players would have good achievements in the District tournament. Without failing management's expectations, the kids displayed excellent performance in the tournament. After the District Championship Tournament in Trivandrum, the players are continuing their practice in Trivandrum to prepare for the upcoming State Ranking tournament under the guidance of Coach Adarsh MS and Coach Ashif Ameerjan. The other two players Riya Kurian & Adlyn Mary Sojan are preparing to participate in the Yonex Sunrise All India Sub Junior Ranking Badminton Tournament May2024 in Goa, India under the guidance of Coach Afsal OK.

12 year old Sanjanaa Nakulan, the rising star of NVBS, emerged victorious in the highly competitive Under 13 girls' category. Through her unwavering dedication and commitment, she honed her skills and achieved success. In the recent Yonex Sunrise 21st Smt. Savithri Devi Saboo Memorial All Kerala State Sub Junior Ranking Tournament April 2024 in Calicut, India, she secured the runner-up position, facing off Alexia Elsa Alexander, a top-seeded player in the final with scores 10-21 & 19-21. She is a 7th Grade student of DPS Modern Indian School Doha, Qatar.
