vision and value base
Sports must be conducted in accordance with the business idea decided by the NSF general meeting,
the vision and core values.
Sport's business idea
We do sports in associations to have fun, feel good and develop throughout life.
Definitions and findings:
Sport refers to organized physical activity where training and the opportunity to compete contribute
to well-being. The physical performance has more than negligible importance. The sports movement
places particular emphasis on the following four areas.
Physical activity:
The physical aspect is of more than negligible importance for
the activity itself, the performance and the result.
Exercise:
Sports consists of training and play that provide opportunities for physical, mental, social
or cultural development.
Contest:
The sport has defined competition rules that are determined and owned by the sport
organisation.
Prosperous:
Sport is based on having fun, feeling good and developing throughout life. Health, well-being
and well-being are normative.
Sports consists of:
Training and play, competition and exhibition.
Sports gives:
Physical, psychological, social and cultural development.
We organize our sports:
In independent associations and federations which together form a free and voluntary people's movement
united in the Sierra Leone National Sports Federation.
We divide our sports:
By age and level of ambition. By children's sports we generally mean sports even
twelve years of age. By youth sports we mean sports for teenagers and young adults 13-25
year. By adult sports, we mean sports for those over 25 years of age.
In children's sports, we play and give the children the opportunity to try different sports. To give the children
opportunity for all-round sports development is standard-setting for the business. Competition is one
part of the game and must always take place on the children's terms.
In youth sports and adult sports, we distinguish between broad sports and elite-oriented sports.
Health, well-being and well-being are standard-setting in sports. In the elite oriented
in sport, performance improvement and good competition results are indicative and i
Broad sports also often serve performance and competition results as a carrot.
We are a united sports movement:
Which works for the same vision and value base, it permeates all unions and
associations, both broad and elite. We preserve the tradition of the Sierra Leone sports movement there
elite and broad activities take place in close collaboration, which provides inspiration, development and
viability. Within the sports movement, all federations and associations, both elite and
breadth, each other's roles and operating conditions.
Sports follows:
The UN Declaration on Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
rights (the Convention on the Rights of the Child) and the UN International Convention on
rights for persons with disabilities.
