Kodagus Muttamma chosen for Indian Junior Womens hockey team

Mysore : Muttamma and Tina from Karnataka  have been selected for the Indian Junior womens hockey team  for  the World Cup championship to be held in Germany.

Of the two, Muttamma is from Kodagu and  hails from Hadageri in Somwarapete taluk. Daughter of Ganapathi and Sangeetha couple, she is pursuing  B.Com at a college in the  city and is undergoing training in a sports school of the city.

Her immense talent in sports right a young age, has  helped her get admission in the residential sports school at Koodige. She developed an interest in hockey  when she was in tenth standard and represented the junior hockey team of her institution. She was later selected for the Karnataka sub-junior team and also performed well in the national inter school sports meet held at Patiala in Punjab. She further played a key role in the victory of the  state team in the Senior South Zone womens hockey  tournament at Tirupathi in Andhra Pradesh.

Muttamma now aspires to find a place in the Indian womens hockey team one day.
Presently, she is  facing the inevitability of traveling all the way to  the Mysore University  hockey ground by an auto  for practice as the Chamundi Vihar Stadium is under repair. The sports lovers of the region are hoping that the government would take early steps to complete the repair works.
