Abstract: The aim of this paper is to assess and explain the situation in school sport in eastern Croatian counties. Due to the fact that more than 120,000 children participate in school sport we can conclude that this is the largest sport system in the Republic of Croatia. In 2009 a survey was conducted in primary and secondary schools to collect data for this analysis. Using the collected data a document entitled “The Strategy for the Development of School Sport in Croatia 2009-2014” was published. This paper presents several aspects of school sport in five eastern Croatian counties (Vukovar-Srijem, Osijek-Baranja, Pozega-Slavonija, Brod-Posavina and Virovitica-Podravina counties): school sport facilities, the level of participation of pupils in school sport, and a comparison with these aspects of school sport in the Republic of Croatia in general. The analysis findings show that the situation regarding school sport facilities in eastern Croatia is similar to the Croatian average, with several exceptions. The level of participation of pupils in school sport also varies in some of the analysed counties. On the basis of the obtained results guidelines for improvement of school sport in eastern Croatia are provided.
