Sports Panjgur
Introduction
Football is the most popular game played in Panjgur district. Almost every union council has at least one football club and a playing field. Open levelled fields are playgrounds. Other games are rarely played. Girls are prohibited to play field games, however facilities are available to them for playing basket ball and other track games in their schools. There is one recreational park for children at Chitkan, but all the playing gadgets have been broken.
A local game called chouki is very popular. This game is played with four small sticks and a conical stone. Players of this game have their own slang language and behaviour patterns.

The government has an important role in the promotion of recreational activities but rarely attention is diverted in this direction. The government has provided playgrounds in educational institutions and one stadium is also constructed in Panjgur; there is an intense need for maintenance of these playing fields and encouragement of talented players.
Conclusion and major Development Issues
Incentives should be introduced for promotion of sports and encouragement of youth which otherwise can be attracted by asocial or antisocial activities.
