School students in the Under-6, Under-7 and Under-8 age groups are taking part in the initiative, which will run for a week. The matches in the Baby Leagues are played as five-a-side and three-a-side games, with each player competing in a minimum of three contests. The teams are being guided by CFC coaches. “The Baby Leagues are a great initiative by the AIFF. They will ensure more kids take up the sport at a really young age. At Chennaiyin, it is our duty to implement that endeavour. We are excited to provide a platform that helps unearth the future stars of Indian football,” said CFC co-owner Vita Dani.
