I think the question Marlon is asking is whether Goa has anything *beyond* its school/college/university level competitions. Something that is accessible for just about anyone wanting to take part. For competitive or non-competitive reasons.
One risk is that sports seems to be becoming increasingly a spectator-event in Goa too. Football might be different, what with the second-division and the possibilities of dozens of goals.
