The term,‘Chiiki Sport’describes sport played in a local region or community. In Europeancountries, sport was a physical activity played in local regions and communities, so there is nopoint asking what‘Chiiki Sport’is. In Japan, sport was imported from overseas and had beenused as educational tools or cooperative advertisements. In this way, sport did exist in politicaland economical circles, not anything enjoyed among local citizens on a daily basis. In addition,globalization created vast changes on the local region or community. In the globalized world,local areas segmented by the traditional or political borders come to expand and experience anew dimension of the localities with the help of modernized transportation and informationtechnology. The definition of‘region’or‘community’should be reconsidered prior todiscussing the local area where sport should be played. According to several sociologists, localcommunities were dismantled, which is quite a critical situation because the community is anindispensable unit for human life. How to revitalize the community is a key political topic tosolve different social problems such as recent higher crime rates or isolated families/personsin Japan. Sport is recognized as one of the main avenues to accomplish this mission.The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology（MEXT）in Japan iscurrently working on a project named‘Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports’. The target iscreating at least one Comprehensive Community Sports Club in each municipality（city, town,and village）. An area envisaged by the Ministry as unit for a community is a junior highschool district, which is convenient for municipal administrators, but not for grassrootssporting persons. Additionally, a sport promotion policy has not existed in Japan, becauseMEXT’s focus had been on physical education mainly based on the school curriculum. Theprograms related to the physical activities promoted by the municipal governments arecategorized as education and the department of education is in charge of organizing andadministrating them. The lack of philosophical background of sport is a major obstacle topromote real sport in the community. To solve this inconsistency, a few suggestions are madeexamining the case study of the Seta Rowing Club（NPO）which was converted to acomprehensive community sports club.
