The concept of the Scholar-Athlete Games is based upon the best of the Olympic ideal. The Olympics grew out of the belief that sport can be a force for understanding and friendship among athletes and among nations. At the World Scholar-Athlete Games, there are no national teams. Thus, a boy’s basketball team might be made up of 12 young men from 12 different countries; a girl’s soccer team might be made up of 16 young women from 16 different countries, and so on. The World Scholar-Athlete Games welcomes as many scholar-artists as scholar-athletes, and the concept has drawn international acclaim.
