Revitalizing Three Major Ball Sports in China: The Role of Youth Competitions

The three collective ball sports of football, basketball and volleyball have a large number of participants and great social influence. They have long been loved by the people, especially teenagers. However, in recent years, the development of my country’s three major sports, especially the men’s sports, has been unsatisfactory.

The three major goals must be promoted. This is a sign of a strong sports country. Strengthening the foundation and building a solid foundation of reserve talents are the key links and the only way to revitalize the three major goals.

Competition is the core and foundation of sports, and it is also an important platform and tool for the cultivation of young reserve talents. For a long time, the number of youth competitions in the three major balls in my country was insufficient and the quality was not high, which seriously restricted the growth and development of talents in the three major balls in my country. The “Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of Chinese Football” and the “Implementation Opinions on the Reform and Development of Chinese Youth Football” jointly issued by 12 units not long ago both clearly proposed to strengthen the cultivation of young reserve talents and improve the youth football competition system.

In this context, the State Sports General Administration and the Ministry of Education jointly launched the three major national youth sports games. Different from traditional comprehensive sports games and individual championships, the three major national youth sports games include 3 events and 6 categories: football, basketball, and volleyball. The participating players are all young athletes under the age of 18. This is the first youth sports event set up in my country specifically for the three major goals. It promotes the three major goals to be grasped from childhood, gives full play to the role of competition leverage, and builds a solid foundation of reserve talents for the three major goals.

The three major national youth sports games will promote the improvement of the youth competition system and promote the comprehensive development of youth training. It can increase the number of events, promote organic connection with existing events, improve the youth event system, and continuously improve the quality of talents; it can also encourage localities to attach great importance to the youth training of the three major sports, such as team formation, training, personnel selection, and investment guarantee. All aspects continue to increase efforts to promote the comprehensive development of youth training and solve the problem of lagging behind in the three major goals from the source.

In recent years, the three major sports teams in various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have shrunk on a large scale. By setting up sports games, teams are organized to compete in the name of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The results of each minor competition will be included in the total score of the 15th Sports Games of the People’s Republic of China. The results of this competition will also be included in the total results of the National Games in the corresponding cycle, sending a clear signal to encourage provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to re-assume the responsibilities of youth training for the three major sports, and promote the formation of campus popularization, sports departments to improve youth training, and social strength. Grasp the three-ball development pattern of professional and high-level teams, and accelerate the exploration of a three-ball development path that combines the national system and market mechanisms.

Of course, the cultivation of talents in the three major balls and the improvement of the level of the three major balls are not achieved overnight. We must still insist on starting from the children, from the grassroots, and from the basics, abandon the mentality of quick success and instant benefits, and truly achieve long-term efforts, step by step to create a talent training and improvement channel. Guided by the reform and innovation of the youth three major ball competition system, we will unswervingly follow the path of reform, innovation and development, and make “the source of living water” from a vision to a reality.
