Stressing on the importance to develop sports at the grassroots level, Sekhose said that this year for the first time, the pre subroto selection from the district level has been introduced. In the earlier years, the Subroto teams were selected from school. “So in all 16 districts both under 15 years for boys and 17 years for girls the districts have been entrusted to select the best teams through an open competition. One district could not participate because of the exam,” informed Sekhose.
