Registration of Sport Clubs and Sport Serving Bodies
National Registration Drive
The Physical Education and Sport Division (PESD) of the Ministry of Sport and Community Development’s (MSCD) mandate is to assist in the development of sport through capacity building, total participation in sporting and recreational activities, and more specifically, to promote wellness and quality of life through proper sporting information and training structures in Trinidad and Tobago. This registration drive will work towards the fulfillment of our mandate by providing members of the public with the opportunity to readily access the services and programmes of the Ministry. The aim of the drive is not only to increase the number of registered Sports Serving Bodies but to also facilitate a holistic evaluation of sports in the nation.
