Hi Accessindians, Hope you all are doing fine.
Keeping in mind my six days work and personal commitments, I’ve introduced both the games to XRCVC-Xavier’s Mumbai back in start of October itself. Very capable coach of Xavier’s has agreed to take up goalball forward. Please contact them in case you are interested.
