Sports Mastung
Introduction
The sports sector in the district is undeveloped. People pass their leisure time in bazaars watching television and listening to tape records. In the evening, the youth plays football, wrestling and other traditional games, such as stone throwing and hide and seek. Cricket is popular among the students. Girls students also take active part in table tennis, badminton and hide and seek game. Chess and playing cards are popular among civil servants.

Conclusion and major Development Issues
There is only one stadium at the district head quarters. The youth takes interest in sports activities, but they need support from government. In educational institutions, more attention should be to proper planning of sports activities. Lack of co-ordination between the government Sports Department and NGOs is also a major issue in this sector. By financial support and technical training and guidance to NGOs and Community Based Organisations (CBOs) sports activities can be improved in the area. Currently, the major bottlenecks are lack of organisational ability, lack of play grounds, lack of funds and absence of coaching centres.
