#BootsOverScreens

The Antidote Is a Ball.

Screen addiction is rising fastest in the youngest. Football replaces isolation with a team, a scroll with a sprint.

The Problem, in Indian Numbers

2.22 hours a day. Before age five.

A meta-analysis of Indian studies found under-five children average 2.22 hours of screen time a day — more than double the under-1-hour limit advised by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics and WHO1. In one preschool study, only 17% of children met the recommendation, and half were introduced to screens before age two2.

Isolation → Team

Sixty minutes on a turf gives your child ten teammates, one coach, and a place to belong.

Scroll → Sprint

Restlessness becomes exertion; exertion becomes sleep; sleep becomes a better school morning.

Anxiety → Belonging

Team-sport players score measurably lower on anxiety and withdrawal measures — see the evidence on our Why Football page.
