WaWo Women's Kabaddi League: An exciting league aiming to revolutionise women's kabaddi

While men's kabaddi has revolutionised the game in a blockbuster fashion, women's kabaddi is yet to spread across the sporting world. Deep down, many hearts are reticent about girls training hard, wearing kabaddi shorts, or even stepping on a mat of kabaddi that requires intense physicality.

However, women's kabaddi is something which is equally exciting as the men's kabaddi. You don't often see girls bashing out super tackles or escaping with action-packed raiding skills.

With the intention of promoting a physical sport among the rural mentality of people, WaWo Women's Kabaddi League has launched for the first time in Rajasthan. "Ab Betiyaan Bhi Khelengi.." is their initiative, which means that now, daughters will also play kabaddi.
