Planet Sports’ Healthertainment catches up

Planet Sports customers can now use their sporting gear in the

best environments and experience the excitement of sport as never before. The brand has tied up with XLR8 to bring the full concept of indoor sports arenas to various locations in India. Together they are promoting an unique product offering from Expat Leisure & Resorts that successfully merges the frenzied appeal of outdoor sports with the pace, exhilaration and flexibility of an indoor format. It’s a concept of playing sport indoors whether cricket or football or hockey or netball or volleyball. The current plans are to expand the indoor sports arena to at least 10 cities over the next few years.

XLR8 which belongs to the Expat group of companies is a format which can be termed as a nano format of outdoor sports. The indoor sports format is popular in Australia, UK, South Africa, Dubai and Sri Lanka. XLR8 which pioneered this concept is positioning it as ‘Healthertainment’ which means providing sports, fitness and health at one place. The centre is built on four acres of land, on which presently 10 sports -- among which are cricket, hockey, football and tennis -- can be played. XLR8’s expansion across India would enhance the possibility of Planet Sports customers having the facilities to enjoy the world of sports in a world class environment. Apart from Planet Sports, XLR8 is associated with Nike and Jet Airways.
