MUMBAI: Walt Disney Company's kids channel Jetix organised a sports day in Hyderabad under "Jetix Action League." The tournament engaged students between ages 7-14 years in an unconventional game play that involved teamwork along with physical and mental skills.


"Jetix represents action, adventure and entertainment with all the positive values of teamwork and camaraderie. We are happy to engage kids in outdoor activities while ensuring that they understand the spirit and values of Jetix' on-air programming," said Walt Disney Television International (India) MD and SVP Antoine Villeneuve.

The tournament started with schools taking an introductory lap. The participating schools soon teamed up to compete in unconventional games such as 30-legged race, frog relay, the Frisbee soccer, a traditional soccer game played with a Jetix twist where a frisbee replaced the football and the goal keeper guarded a mobile goal post, etc.

Jetix rewarded the winning school with a grant of Rs 100,000. The channel will also organise an adventure camp for all the winning teams. Indian Idol fame NC Karunya was also there to encourage the teams with his live performance.

In addition, there were special prizes for the best cheerleading team, team with best-painted faces, the loudest school team, etc.

Jetix is planning to take its Action League to Chennai and Bangalore after this, according to an official release.
