Gwangju City Supports Selected Organizations for 'School-Linked Public Sports Club' Contest
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 19th that it will support organizations finally selected in the school-linked (single sport) sports club public contest project recently hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Korea Sports Council to revitalize the operation of public sports clubs.
In this contest, three organizations including the Gwangju Metropolitan Tennis Association, Gwangju Metropolitan Archery Association, and Nam-gu Sports Council submitted applications to the City Sports Council.
The Korea Sports Council and the City Sports Council will select a total of 36 clubs nationwide around June 30 through a first evaluation to confirm essential requirements such as securing club operation facilities for more than 40 hours a week over 6 days, matching funds, and consent forms from existing clubs, a second presentation evaluation, and a third evaluation including on-site inspections.
The school-linked public sports clubs operate programs that allow multi-generational and multi-layered members to learn and enjoy sports at low cost by establishing nonprofit sports clubs using schools or public sports facilities.
The selected sports clubs will receive annual support of 100 million KRW for five years starting next year, consisting of 80 million KRW in national funds and 20 million KRW in local funds (matching funds for national funds).
The support funds will be primarily used for personnel expenses such as business owner contributions, retirement reserves for the secretariat director, full-time instructors, and assistant instructors, and will also be utilized for club operation expenses and sports equipment.
