The clubs

Four league-owned clubs, each fielding a squad in every age band that runs. Players are drafted to them by the selection panel.

Season 1

Four clubs

All four are named, one for each of four south Chennai neighbourhoods. Every club fields a squad in every age band that runs.

Sholinganallur Sharks

Sholinganallur · OMR corridor

Drawing on the IT corridor along Old Mahabalipuram Road, where a great many of the league's families live and work.

Medavakkam Magnets

Medavakkam

Based where the Elite academy sits, so its players train on the ground they represent.

Velachery Vikings

Velachery

One of the oldest cricketing pockets in south Chennai, and the shortest trip for families inside the city.

Perungudi Panthers

Perungudi

Between Velachery and the OMR corridor, drawing players from both.

The draft

Players are drafted, not signed

All four clubs are owned by the league. After the team selection days the panel drafts players across them, band by band, balancing the squads so that no club is stacked and every game is worth playing.

That means you do not pick a club, and we do not take requests — not for a friend, a suburb or a coach. It is the part families ask about most, and it is the part that makes a first season into a competition rather than an exhibition. Siblings in different bands are a separate matter: tell us and we will keep them at the same ground where the draw allows it.

A player keeps their club for the whole season. Club names, colours and squads are published here as the draft completes.
