CURRENT STATUS
In the whole of Sierra Leone there exist no Christian sports training center where Christians and non-Christians and especially the juveniles, disadvantaged women, youths, and children and the poor can go for physical exercise, learn about sporting discipline, learn from and about Christian sporting personalities.
The only available public exercise place in Sierra Leone is that which is located in the one and only National Sports Stadium in the country. Even this one is not accessible to all, poorly equipped and is restricted to sporting personnel for a fee which Christians and non-Christians sporting individuals cannot afford. It is also not adequately equipped with the necessary exercise equipments, space for sports information sharing and training on sports and sports personalities.
