Features: In the military, sports competitions are activities deeply loved by the majority of military personnel. Whether in the turbulent days of war or in the modern era of standardized military construction; whether in the high-altitude sentries in snow and ice or on the warships patrolling the vast seas, various forms of sports competitions and activities are actively carried out and maintained. Focusing on grassroots units and emphasizing small-scale, diverse competitions, mass sports activities serve as both an auxiliary and supplement to military training and an important aspect of meeting the cultural and recreational needs of military personnel. During holidays and spare time in military camps, widespread mass sports activities are not only a positive and effective means of enhancing the physical fitness of military personnel but also an effective form of cultivating excellent qualities such as resilience, perseverance, agility, diligence, discipline, teamwork, and a spirit of striving for excellence. They play a significant role in boosting morale, uplifting spirits, enhancing a sense of honor, inspiring revolutionary heroism, strengthening military personnel relationships, and fostering military-civilian relations. They also support and ensure the conduct of military training and political work, ultimately improving combat effectiveness.
This book, based on practical experience, provides concise and clear explanations of sports projects widely enjoyed by military personnel and those easily conducted in military units. It combines theoretical depth with strong practicality. It is suitable for grassroots cadres, military trainees, and soldiers. It is hoped that readers, through studying this book, can systematically master the requirements and steps for organizing grassroots sports competitions, as well as the methods and techniques for forming and training various sports teams, further promoting the development of sports activities in military units.
