The community comprises of prominent coaches, State Association office-bearers, Technical officials and includes many National Masters champions.
The Enthu League has been one of the most vibrant, active and much awaited events for Masters players over the past 5-6 years. Says Bibhash Chatterjee, one of the Founding members of the community: “The significance of the Enthu Buddies league lies in the fact that it not only brings together the Masters players but also strengthens the bonds of friendship and camaraderie amongst the participants. It is an event that we look forward to every year, and we are proud to be a part of the largest group of Masters players in India.”

The enthusiasm and passion for badminton that the players bring to the tournament is unmatched, and we are confident that this year’s edition will be no exception.”
