Amateur Sports

Amateur sports are athletic competitions participated in by individuals or teams who do not receive payment or professional compensation for their performance. These sports emphasize skill, teamwork, and personal enjoyment rather than financial gain. Participants often compete at local, regional, or national levels, including school, community, or club events. Amateur sports promote physical activity, discipline, and community engagement, serving as a foundation for developing talent and sportsmanship. Unlike professional sports, athletes in amateur sports prioritize participation and personal achievement over earning a livelihood from the sport.
