History
Chardi Kala Sports Club (CKSC) was founded in the spring of 2017 in response to an increasing amount of youth in the DMV Sikh community falling under negative influences. Our founding members wanted to help these youths develop a sense of pride for their rich heritage and eventually direct them back to Sikh ideals. The result was Chardi Kala Sports Club. We named it as such so we could remind ourselves to continuously maintain a spirit of eternal joy and optimism as we work towards reaching our goals. Since our founding, we have held events such as dastaar tying competitions, powerlifting meets, blood drives, and kabaddi tournaments. Today, CKSC plays a strong and active role in the Sikh community of the DMV.
