Company sports

Company sports is organized sport activities within companies, occupational groups, trade unions and public agencies, with the goal to improve the working atmosphere. The form of organization is an alternative to the offerings through regular national sport federations and their special federations. Company sport members can sometimes also participate in sport events under those national federations, like for instance in some marathons, but then often in their own separate classes.

Motivations behind company sport groups includes increasing the health and well-being by maintenance of social contacts, to have fun, recover, promote activation and physical activity, to achieve good results for oneself or for the team, or to acquire a good performance. Company sports can help compensate for the physical and mental stresses in everyday working life.

Insurance

It varies whether the company sport federations can be held liable for accidents during company sport events. Company sport federations may offer insurance to its members.

In some jurisdictions, like in Germany, injuries during company sports can be regarded as a "work accident" if certain requirements are fulfilled.
