The Department of Sports
The aim of the Department of Sports is to develop, promote and sponsor national sporting and recreational activities, with the overall goal of positively influencing the physical and social well-being of all Bahamians. Additionally, the Sports Department provides appropriate support services to all sports federations and associations, Family Island sports councils, recreational leagues, and all legitimate “sports-tourism” related enterprises. The Department of Sports is headed by Mr. Timothy Munnings.
