In this chapter, we are using the Oceania Football Confederation’s Just Play program as a backdrop to establishing a holistic healthy lifestyle approach to community development; one that aims to contribute to reducing the risk for developing NCDs by providing the nexus between sport, health, socio-cultural development and policymaking. Based on our reflections, we also provide practical recommendations and linkage development opportunities for other healthy lifestyle projects that aim to make a positive difference in the Pacific and elsewhere in the world
