National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs)

National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) are organizations responsible for overseeing and managing specific sports within a country. They set rules, organize competitions, promote the sport, and develop athletes and coaches. NGBs also ensure safety standards and represent their sport in national and international settings. They work to grow participation and improve the quality of the sport at all levels, from grassroots to elite competition. Essentially, they serve as the central authority for their sport within their country, coordinating efforts to support athletes, coaches, officials, and fans.
