Abstract :
ABSTRACT: The National Sports System Law in 2005 stated that the scope of sports system in Indonesian is divided
into three components, they are: Educational Sport, Recreational Sport, and Competitive Sport. Like it or not, there
has been still a bias in the way peoples gave meaning of the sports in the planning document, which is irrelevant
with the true meaning purported by the law; and in which it is also still meant that the sports should be directed
to the cultivation of the high performance solely. This is defi nitely inaccurate meaning for which the real meaning
of educational sport has its own goal and diff erent targets, giving children broader opportunities to expand and
explore their own potentialities. The policy to develop educational sport is supposed to be concentrated on the
improvement of physical education and sport program quality; to increase the number of schools organizing sport
extra-curricular activities, sport units, and sport classes; to improve the quality of services and management of
the Education and Training Center; and to increase the number of sports school in many region of provinces in
Indonesia with national standard. If all those mentioned activities could be improved, then, this educational sports
program will undoubtedly contribute positively to the sports development foundation in Indonesia generally.
