150 Women sports fans from multiple states played at NATS Midwestern Throwball Tournament

Sports always play a major role in one’s life. Wherever you go, from India to US, the major sport may differ but participation for all kinds of sports always beats organizers expectations. That’s the power of sports. Being well aware of this, North America Telugu Society (NATS) Chicago chapter has successfully organized Throwball tournament, exclusively for women, in the Midwestern area. The tournament took place on September 18th in Bolingbrook, Illinois. The tournament attracted teams from multiple states including Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Illinois making it a grand Midwestern tournament. The day was filled with vibrant energy and competitive friendly games. The event brought together various friends and families with over 150 attendees.

This tournament was spearheaded by Bindu Veedulamudi, NATS Chicago Cultural coordinator. Organizers conveyed sincere thanks to the local NATS leadership Madan Pamulapati, Murthy Koppaka, Vijay Venigalla, Ravi Srikakulam, Krishna Nimmagadda, Lakshmi Bojja, Venu Krishnardula, Dr Prasudha Nunna, Hareesh Jammula, and Karthik Modukuri. Kudos to the entire NATS Chicago chapter for handling the logistics, venue, food, and scheduling.

Of course, the event wouldn’t have been a huge success without support from many community friends.
