The United Nations defines sports as “all
forms of physical activity that contribute
to physical fitness, mental well-being and
social interaction, such as play,
recreation, organized or competitive sport,
and indigenous sports and games”
(International Olympic Committee, 2016, p.21).

Sports as a physical activity builds on physical
literacy, which is an essential component of a
healthy lifestyle. Physically literate individuals
are competent, confident, and motivated to
move. Every child is predisposed to be active if
the environment encourages participation.

However, each school day traditionally
provides a sedentary setting with at least 6
hours spent sitting inside the classroom.
Physical Education (PE) is the only subject in
the curriculum that provides opportunities for
moderate-to-vigorous physical activities to
counteract this sedentariness.

Yet, PE’s curricular time allocation (i.e., once a
week) falls short of the global
recommendations on physical activity for
health made by the World Health Organization
in 2010.

Our youth needs to participate in daily
physical activities at moderate-to-vigorous
intensity levels for at least 60 minutes to
optimize their health. In order to achieve this,
there is a need for a school sports program
that will supplement and complement the PE
curriculum.

critical role in promoting their social and moral

influence their community and society as a
whole.
