Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to examine the availability as well as utilization of available sports facilities at high school level of district Faisalabad(Punjab) Pakistan. Population of the study comprised of all heads of high schools of district
Faisalabad(Punjab) Pakistan and data was collected from 200 high schools. For the collection of data, the researchers developed a closed form of questionnaire and personally distributed among the respondents and collected back after getting it filled by respondents. The collected data were processed through statistical package for social sciences (SPSS, Version 24). On the basis of data analysis, the researcher concluded that sufficient sports facilities are available at high schools’ level but not properly utilized.Unfortunately, Pakistan is losing its position in sports, which was once extremely strong, and which has
the potential to have a significant impact on sports not only now, but also in the future in practically every corner of the country. As a result, this research will open a door for the availability, maintenance, and use of sports facilities at the school level, which is considered the grass roots level for professional players development. This study will help to identify the facilities that are available in schools and how they are used.
