The Pro Sports Guidebook to Kabaddi examines the rules, competitive structures, career opportunities and commercial development of this demanding contact sport.
Beginning with the fundamentals of gameplay, the book explains raiding, defending, scoring, tactics and the differences between rectangular, circle, small-sided and beach kabaddi. It also explores the sport's established position in South Asia and its developing presence through clubs, universities and competitions internationally.
Dedicated sections examine routes into playing, coaching, officiating, team management, event organisation, sports media and supporting professions. Each considers entry requirements, practical responsibilities, progression opportunities and potential earnings.
The business section investigates how clubs, tournaments, governing bodies and professional leagues operate, including participation fees, sponsorship, institutional funding, broadcasting and the costs of running competitive teams.
Written for aspiring players, coaches, officials, organisers and sports professionals, this practical guide provides a structured introduction to the sporting and commercial world of kabaddi.
