How It All Began
The Ramgarhia Sports Club (RSC) was founded around 1974 by community members passionate about sports. Volunteers dedicated their time and expertise to train and develop young talent in hockey and karate.
Coaching sessions quickly filled up, creating the need for additional staff and structured weekly schedules. Participants traveled from Harrow, Greenford, Wembley, Hayes, Uxbridge, Hanwell, Ealing, Brentford, and even Watford.
Growing Pains and New Facilities
As membership grew, finding adequate facilities became a priority. With the addition of cricket, table tennis, badminton, and squash, more space was needed for indoor training.
- Hiring sports halls was expensive
- Block bookings weren’t always possible
- Some sessions were disrupted, leading to the loss of top athletes
Building Success
From 1979, RSC hosted annual sports tournaments, giving members the opportunity to compete in:
- Badminton
- Table Tennis
- Karate
- Hockey
- Squash
Many athletes reached UK national standards, establishing RSC as a hub of sporting excellence.
Community Impact
RSC has always prioritized the wider community. Bringing all activities under one roof helps foster harmony and understanding across Southall’s multi-racial neighborhoods.
- Sports as a tool for social cohesion
- Supportive environment for youth development
- Opportunities for all community members
A Dedicated Facility
To meet this vision, the Ramgarhia Sabha Management established a central facility at the Old Rectory Site, Cranford.
- All sports programs under one roof
- Professional training environment
- Stronger community engagement
