The objective of this study was to clarify the concept of community sports, because the clarification of its conceptual structure is considered to increase the efficiency of sports promotion.
Community is a word closely related to land. In the premodern society, land used to be a large resource that yielded wealth. People formed a community by generating wealth from the land. Therefore, we intended to evaluate the concept of community sports from the viewpoint of land and wealth. The following conclusions were reached.
1) In future community sports, two forms of wealth, i. e., promotion of sports and welfare of the local community, must be pursued.
2) Physical training is the most important in people's sports activities.
3) It is important to regard the entire community as a sports facility.
4) Physical training is performed both on private and public property. Physical training peeformed on commercial property is an extension of activities performed on private or public property.
5) Sports have a bipolar nature of physical training and sports game.
