Keywords: Sports, sustain, entrepreneurial education, objectives Introduction Modifying the education system to be responsive to the needs of the learner and the society as a whole has over the years pre-occupied the minds of educationists in Nigeria and all over the world. It is this drive that prompted the introduction of vocational subjects like Metal work, Wood work, Agricultural science, Fine art, Home economics, Entrepreneurship education, among others in some post-primary schools in Nigeria and some countries. However, these subjects have partially addressed the challenges of unemployment and poverty up to this millennium. According to Garavan and Ocinneide (1994) the economic recession, high unemployment rates and fluctuation in international trade cycles in the 1990‟s in the USA and Europe prompted the revival of Entrepreneurship and small business management education.
