Sport Contexts

Sport Contexts

Sport Contexts describe the different ways sports are organized, framed, and experienced across the world. Unlike specific sport groups, which focus on the rules or equipment of play, contexts highlight the format of participation, the competitive umbrellas, and the environments or styles in which activities take place. From individual or team-based events to Olympic disciplines, field or water-based settings, or extreme and tabletop formats, these contexts provide a clear structure for understanding the many dimensions of sport.
