Abstract

The purpose of this article is how the role of the Olympic movement towards the development of college sports in Indonesia. The Olympic movement is a movement led by the IOC that aims to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating young people through sports that are practiced without discrimination based on the values of friendship, solidarity and fair play. Sport is the main medium for achieving the goal of the Olympic movement. The current phenomenon is a decrease in sports participation, especially during the early age of college, data shows that physical activity is at the highest level among children, but then decreases when children become teenagers. The level of physical activity decreases even further as teenagers move to young adulthood as well as what is happening now in Indonesia. Through the spirit of the Olympic movement the government is obliged to provide services and facilities for sports activities including sports in universities in Indonesia. The only body responsible for student sports in Indonesia, BAPOMI has not been able to contribute greatly to the development of college sports. The need for strategic steps and policies from the government so that BAPOMI will again become the spearhead of sports in Higher Education, as well as the application of four important elements in the development of sports in Higher Education, namely the sports curriculum at Universities sports on campus (intramural), sports competitions in and between universities (extramural), as well as networks to sports clubs outside the campus.
