What is the Sports Promotion Committee?

• Sports promotion committee members are part-time civil servants who are responsible for promoting local sports and are commissioned by municipalities.
• With the enactment of the Basic Sports Act (August 23, 8), sports promotion committee members are required to not only provide "practical skill instruction" and "guidance and advice regarding sports," but also "liaison and coordination" related to the implementation of projects to promote sports. I have now taken on an even bigger role as a coordinator for local sports promotion.
• The national sports basic plan states, ``The national government will select and train excellent human resources who can promote cooperation and cooperation with comprehensive clubs and local sports organizations, etc. for sports promotion committees commissioned by local governments. By supporting the enhancement of local sports, we aim to improve the quality of human resources who support the promotion of local sports.''
