Saudi sport has developed in most of its administrative, technical and organizational components, like other sectors, but there are gaps between the executive authorities that need tremendous work to achieve integration and balance in the sports sector with all its components, as we find that sport is a practice to achieve the various positive and health aspects, and the first strategic goal for sport In "Vision 2030" it is to increase the number of practitioners of sports and physical activities on a regular basis (at a rate of at least once a week), and to reach 40% of practitioners by 2030, and sports compete in various sports through clubs, and have a role in achieving the physical aspect in addition To the social, and that which achieves the sporting achievements of the country.
And sports is the first building block for making a sports star in schools, so a wonderful partnership took place between the Ministries of Education and Sports, which resulted in the launch of the Schools Football League in the previous three years, and this year basketball and volleyball games were added to it, so the question remains: What are School league outputs?
Talented students are sent on scholarships in the sports scholarship program, which is a beautiful and wonderful program, but the majority of the talented students on scholarships are officially registered club players, so why did schools in different regions not participate in the program with their athletic talents? With two or three games in the schools league in their area?
There is an urgent need for the integration of the partnership project between the Ministries of “Education” and “Sport” by approving the establishment of sports academies in all games in each region under joint supervision between the two ministries, as all success factors are available from playgrounds in schools and nationally trained teachers who have obtained accredited training certificates that have not yet been completed. Use them in schools.
