Kairali Sports Club Bursary


Kairali Sports Club (KSC) has been active in the Greater Hamilton Area for more than 10 years and has become an integral part of the community. An annual tournament for the "Kairali Ever Rolling Trophy" was founded by KSC of Hamilton in 2003 to promote games such as Volleyball and Badminton among its members and their families.

In the past, the club has made every effort to promote and encourage the children and youth among the Malayalee community by helping them to excel in sports both as individuals and as teams. In addition to the opportunity to play competitive games, they were also provided regular coaching to develop the skills that they require to be part of their school sports team.
