The scheduled are: shifting of training to a science base, inculcating a winning mind-set, the business of sport – generating more revenue, and minimum standards for traveling national teams.
The National Sports Conference emanated on the heels of the identification of the 12 core sports and is said to be a critical arm of the Sport Ministry’s attempt to formulate the National Sports Policy.
At the inaugural edition of the National Sports Conference, participants were afforded the opportunity for information to be disseminated to representatives of the 12 core sports on how the Ministry’s Sports Academy, which comprises the three pillars of nursery, tournament, and elite training, would function following its eventual initiation.
The core sports selected are: athletics, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, lawn tennis, rugby, squash, swimming, table tennis, and volleyball.
