National Sports Governing Bodies

National Sports Governing Bodies are official organizations responsible for overseeing, developing, and regulating a specific sport within a country. They establish rules, organize competitions, promote participation, and ensure athletes and officials adhere to standards. These bodies support the growth of the sport at all levels, from grassroots to elite athletes, and often coordinate with international organizations. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and quality of the sport locally and may also handle accreditation, coaching standards, and selecting national teams. Essentially, they ensure the sport functions smoothly and fairly across the nation.
