The immense passion for badminton developed during my teenage days in Mumbai. But the actual story started in 2010 when I moved to Hyderabad. An absolute stranger with no friends or playing groups here. Everything from booking a court, finding good players, enrolling for tournaments, procuring right gear was an asking task. But being a badminton fanatic, I took this as a personal challenge & was able to connect with some of the best players across Hyderabad who are now called TEAM X’ONE. We have now reached a milestone of having more than five hundred top-notch badminton talents in our club. This is the very reason why we all came into a conclusion to call ourselves The Challengers.

THE CHALLENGER - I'M'POSSIBLE

X’one is a group of eleven highly motivated sports enthusiasts who believe that a quality, healthy and stress free lifestyle is achievable by following a good fitness regime and healthy diet. In the early days of our life, we all dreamt of doing something big in sports for our country. Sadly, education and later career took the centre stage with professional sports put on the back burner. The lucky ones who made it to the highest level are forced to quit prematurely due to various socio-economic challenges.

This idea of this portal is to bring together all such unsung sports personalities under one roof and re-ignite the passion in them. This place is a one stop guidance system for badminton lovers by sharing knowledge on various aspects of game techniques, fitness, strategy, tournament exposure, expert advice through highly interactive common forums.

Someone said "Age is only a number. It’s never too late". Let us all put in the effort to make a difference and see if it’s worth trying than not trying at all. Given a second chance to redeem ourselves who knows we might succeed this time around. Let us all challenge ourselves and say I’m’ possible

I was inclined to badminton at a very early age. My first free boost racquet triggered me to start playing this game and the interest only amplified thereafter. Being a software professional I often play many corporate tourneys. The intense passion towards this game pushed me to join Challengers team which started as a small group of players but now filled with many top-notch talents from all over Hyderabad.
