On 19th July 1997 a Government policy “Sports For All” was declared. The main aim of the policy is the involvement of public participation in sporting activities to achieve all-round physical, mental, spiritual, social and cultural development of the GHANAIAN citizenry as a nation.

The discipline was imported by Dr Honorius Akpeere from the Union of Soviets Socialists Republic (USSR). It was first founded and declared on 19th July 1997 in Ghana. Dr Akpeere introduced the discipline to Ghana in 1977.

The various disciplines were run by Sporting Clubs in Africa, and in the world as a whole, it was run by Sporting Clubs, Cooperatives and Trade Unions (e.g. In the Socialists countries).

The relevance of Sports For All discipline is to achieve all-round physical, mental, spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of the Ghanaian citizenry and uniting them as one people with a common destiny. Sports For All is not a discipline for excellence at the Olympic level thus it has no ranking.

The Sports For All is the basic discipline from which all other disciplines emerged to be sports for excellence at the Olympic level of different International championships.
