Abstract
Grassroots sports development is a crucial component of a nation's sporting
ecosystem, serving as the breeding ground for future athletes and a source of community
well-being. In Nigeria, where sports have historically held a special place in the hearts of
its people, understanding the role of government in fostering grassroots sports is of
paramount importance. This study delves into the state of grassroots sports development
in Oredo Local Government and assesses the influence of government policies and
interventions. The research methodology involved a comprehensive survey of 100 participants, including sports administrators, coaches, and local athletes. Data was analyzed to explore
current conditions, the role of government, challenges, and strategies for sustainable
development. This research contributes to the understanding of grassroots sports development in
Nigeria and provides insights for policymakers, sports administrators, and practitioners to
enhance the quality and reach of grassroots sports initiatives. As the nation continues to
nurture its sporting talent at the grassroots level, this study serves as a valuable resource
for future planning and development in the realm of sports.
