Sports in India!!!???!!!

Hello i cnt find a section for sport questions so general seems to be the place. Does anyone know if in india football and basketball are widely played? I will be going to live in Goa and really need to join a football/basketball team out there. Does anyone know if there are teams/leagues there for these sports?

I hear basketball is really going gangbusters with university students. My Delhi friends were telling me if they're not playing cricket, it's usually basketball, because you don't really need much space to play it.
