There are three formal sports clubs for cricket, football and volleyball in Kohlu town. Some of the sports equipment is provided by the Social Welfare Department. Tournaments are arranged under the auspices of the Department to celebrate national days. A children park has also been established here under the supervision of the Social Welfare Officer. Football and volleyball are common games played by the people in the rest of the district. The major reason for popularity of these games may be that these are inexpensive and easy to learn.

An officers’ club at Kohlu provides recreational facilities to the government officers. After going through the report of the Social Welfare Officer it seems that all the resources of the Department are being utilised for maintenance of the club and access to all the recreational facilities is limited to the officers only.

The government should have an important role in the promotion of recreational activities, but in practice sports are given hardly any attention. This may be one reason behind the limited sports activities carried out in the district. The youth of the area should be motivated and incentives should be introduced for the promotion of sports in Kohlu. Otherwise the youth can be attracted by asocial or antisocial activities.
