High-energy school league kicks off at Ryan International and Ryan Global School (Kundalahalli), Bengaluru
BENGALURU, India, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Polo Assn. Kids marked a significant milestone with the launch of its newest kid-centered property, Junior Champs League, an energetic on-campus sporting format designed for students aged 8 to 16 years. The inaugural 2025 edition was held on 9th December at Ryan International and Ryan Global School, Kundalahalli – two leading educational institutions in Bengaluru known for their strong academic and co-curricular culture.
Bringing together sport, team spirit, leadership, and self-expression, the Junior Champs League features three engaging activities — Scavenger Hunt, Trivia Round, and Maze Relay — crafted to resonate with young audiences while subtly weaving in the brand's values of resilience, teamwork, and excellence, with sport at its core. This initiative aims to create meaningful, memorable touchpoints for students, allowing them to explore skills beyond the classroom while celebrating their #BornToPlay spirit.
Speaking about this initiative, Amitabh Suri, CEO, U.S. Polo Assn. India, said, "The Junior Champs League is a fresh step in our journey of inspiring young audiences through active, on-ground experiences. We're thrilled to introduce this property, beginning with Ryan International and Ryan Global School in Bengaluru, where the energy and enthusiasm of students truly brought the format to life. The League reflects our belief that children thrive when they lead, collaborate, and challenge themselves — values deeply rooted in the U.S. Polo Assn. spirit."
Echoing the sentiment, Ms. Vidya Guruprasad, Principal of Ryan International School, Kundalahalli, added, "Our students embraced the Junior Champs League with great excitement. The activities encouraged teamwork, problem-solving, confidence, and sportsmanship — qualities we nurture every day at Ryan. We are delighted to partner with U.S. Polo Assn. Kids for such a vibrant and meaningful engagement."
Sharing her thoughts on the collaboration, Ms. Sweta Chakrabarty, Principal of Ryan Global School, Kundalahalli, said, "We sincerely appreciate U.S. Polo Assn. Kids for their wonderful initiative that engaged our students through such a dynamic event. This collaboration sparked genuine excitement among the students and offered them a unique experience beyond the classroom. Initiatives like these enrich their educational journey and contribute meaningfully to holistic development."
The inaugural edition concluded with team recognitions, certificates, and brand-led gratifications, reinforcing the program's core objective — to create future-forward, experience-led interactions that connect authentically with today's learners while championing confidence, camaraderie, and the joy of participation.
U.S. Polo Assn. Kids will continue to expand the Junior Champs League to more schools in the coming months, building a pan-India footprint for this dynamic, student-first initiative.
