What the Department does

Developing, funding and governing sport.

The Department of Sport and Recreation is committed to enhancing sport and recreation at every level - working through the National Sport Governing Bodies that sit at the centre of Bermuda sport.

Developing sport

The Department wishes to see a diverse range of sports available to the Bermudian public, investing in a wide variety of NSGBs to meet outcomes around increased participation and improved performance, as set out in the National Sports Policy 2022-27.

  • Broad access across a diverse range of sports
  • Clear athlete pathways from grassroots to elite
  • Increased participation and improved performance

Investing & funding

Through the Sport Investment Programme, the Department provides core funding to NSGBs and sports organisations - supporting athletes, coaches and programmes across three categories, including the Elite Athlete Fund and Elite Athlete Sponsorship Fund.

  • High Performance, Junior & Senior Programming, Coach & Official Development
  • Allocations reviewed annually against outcomes
  • Greater investment for programmes that perform

Good governance

Recognised NSGBs are organisations that have achieved a position of pre-eminence within their sport and demonstrate the required level of organisation and governance. Funding follows a transparent process grounded in accountability, equity and tangible outcomes.

  • NSGB recognition based on governance standards
  • Transparent, evidence-led funding decisions
  • Accountability, equity and measurable impact
