Gyeongnam Sports Council Selects 5 Locations in Gyeongnam for 'School-Linked Sports Clubs'
Establishing a Foundation for a Virtuous Cycle System Between Recreational and Professional Sports
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] The Korea Sports Council announced on the 16th that five sports clubs in Gyeongsangnam-do were selected for the ‘2020 School-Linked Sports Clubs’ program.
The ‘School-Linked Sports Clubs’ program is a project aimed at revitalizing public sports clubs by lowering entry barriers, as many organizations did not meet the requirements such as ‘facility acquisition and multi-sport operation’ in the existing public sports club application guidelines.
The sports clubs selected this time are the tentative Geoje Jangseungpo Sports Club (Jangseungpo Elementary School), Milseong Football Sports Club (Milseong Elementary School), Miryang City Baseball Sports Club (Donggang Middle School), Yangsan Football Sports Club (Yangsan Elementary School), and Geoje Athletics Sports Club (Geoje City Sports Council), totaling five clubs, which will receive up to 2 billion KRW in support over the next five years.
The Korea Sports Council called for applications for the ‘School-Linked Sports Clubs’ project last October, received applications from a total of five organizations, and made the final selection after a document evaluation (80%), presentation evaluation (20%), and on-site inspection.
The ‘School-Linked Sports Clubs’ are operated by establishing non-profit corporations or social cooperatives, supporting local residents of various ages, levels (hobby class - advanced class - athlete class), and social strata to learn and enjoy sports affordably using local public and school sports facilities as bases.
