The Kampala Kids League (KKL) is a sports programme founded in 1998 to help boys and girls aged 4-14+ years in Kampala to improve their lives through sport.

In the last 12 years we are proud to have had over 840 teams to compete in over 50 KKL football, basketball, baseball and cricket seasons and over 16,000 children from over 180 schools taking part.

The highlight of a KKL year is The Euro Tour in which the best players within a certain age category compete in overseas tournaments eg in Denmark's Tivoli Cup and Sweden's World Youth Cup in Gothenburg – the largest youth football tournament in the world.

Since 2002 KKL has been invited to send teams to compete in European football tournaments. Of the 23 tournaments KKL teams we have won 20 of them
