This study examines strategies for creating opportunities for youth engagement in sports while promoting a healthy lifestyle in Zamin District. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from young people, educators, and community stakeholders to assess participation levels, barriers, and health awareness. Findings reveal strong interest in sports but limited access to facilities, gender disparities, and low awareness of healthy habits. The study highlights the importance of infrastructure development, inclusive programs, and educational initiatives. It concludes that coordinated efforts among schools, communities, and local authorities are essential to foster active lifestyles and improve youth well-being.
