Sport is one of the few activities that brings
people together no matter
where you are on
the globe. Color, race,
language, religion,
age and gender are all
forgotten on the sporting
field, in the pool or on
the court.
Many
sports organizations, agencies
and local
churches have long known
of the benefit of
being involved in sport
and serving sports
people as a way to build
a bridge to connect
with their cultures. The
sports of basketball
and volleyball both were
created for this
purpose.
In 1985, the International
Sports Coalition
(ISC) was formed as a partnering
body to
help the different spheres
of sports interests
to interact with each other.
By doing this
each part benefits from
the strengths of
the other and in turn is
built up.
The main purposes of the
ISC are to:
- Model
- Train
- Network & Establish
Partnerships
In 2003 the ISC partners saw the benefit
in describing different strategic programs
that had emerged out of this sports movement.
Some of these programs are:
- ACE Strategies Conference (ASC)
- Church Sports (CS)
- International Sports Leadership Training
(ISLT)
- Major Sports Events Host Partnership (MSEHP)
- Major Sports Event Partnership (MSEP)
- Proclamation by Sports People (PSP)
- Serving the People of Sport (SPS)
- Strategic Regional Coalitions (SRC)
- Strategic Sports Partnerships (SSP)
