大学を核とした総合型地域スポーツクラブの創設・育成・運営の可能性について : 仙南広域スポーツ研究会の活動報告から

In 1995, the (then) Ministry of Education launched the "Project for the General-purpose Local Sports Clubs Development Model," and in 2000 it devised the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports, which set the target of "developing at least one general-purpose local sports club in each municipality nationwide by 2010." Meanwhile, revision of the School Education Act made it compulsory for all universities to undergo regular third-party evaluation, and universities themselves were required to make tangible local contributions. As a result, some universities started to establish and operate general-purpose local sports clubs as a project for contributing to the local community. This paper investigates the possibility of establishing, developing and operating general-purpose local sports clubs centering on universities, including the development status of the general-purpose local sports clubs in Miyagi Prefecture. It also reports on the activities of the Support Project for General-purpose Local Sports Clubs
