In addition, the commune focuses on completing facilities, planning land to build sports grounds, cultural houses in villages and commune centers. The scale of cultural houses and sports grounds in villages is built in accordance with actual conditions, the cost is voluntarily contributed by people in villages and hamlets and supported by the commune budget. Up to now, the commune has mobilized to repair 3/5 cultural houses in villages: Kha Lac, Dong Nhue, Bun; 5/5 villages have sports grounds and cultural houses built synchronously. The campus of cultural houses and sports grounds has an area of about ^1,000m2 , built spaciously with full equipment to serve the sports activities of the people. On the occasion of holidays, New Year, and anniversaries, the commune organizes sports competitions, creating conditions for local people to exchange, creating a joyful and exciting atmosphere in the community, contributing to improving spiritual and cultural life, preserving and promoting local cultural traditions; including the results of participation in the sports movement in the criteria for evaluating and classifying the annual construction of cultural life at the grassroots level.

Responding to the campaign "All people practice physical exercise following the example of great Uncle Ho", each person in the commune chooses a sport suitable for their health and needs to practice. Every day, from 6 pm, at the village cultural houses, there are many elderly people and children actively practicing. The whole commune has over 60% of the people practicing sports regularly with sports such as: football, badminton, chess, aerobics... Many families actively participate in practicing sports together with a variety of types of practice. All 5 villages in the commune have established sports clubs to maintain regular practice. Each club has its own operating regulations, regularly organizing exchanges between villages. In particular, the Commune Women's Union established folk dance clubs in villages associated with the movement "Each woman chooses a form of culture, art, and mass sports suitable for practicing health". Up to now, the folk dance clubs in the villages have developed strongly, attracting a large number of members. Members learn the appropriate dances and folk dances themselves and then guide each other to practice. The folk dance clubs regularly participate in performances serving local events and cultural programs. Since the establishment of the club, the spiritual life of the people as well as the women's association members of the commune has improved, and the village and neighborhood relationship has become closer. The Association of the Elderly has also developed diverse training with gentle sports, suitable for all ages such as: health care, chess, etc. The youth and teenagers of the commune have established football clubs in the villages, regularly organizing exchanges and competitions, creating useful playgrounds, contributing to helping the youth stay away from social evils. Every year, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Founding Day of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26), the Commune Youth Union organizes traditional sports activities for children such as tug of war, football, 100m running, etc. The commune's 2022 Youth Football Tournament attracted over 100 players from 7 football teams from villages to register and compete. In addition, in the summer, the Commune Youth Union also organizes swimming lessons for students in the area, helping to reduce the risk of drowning for young children. Secondary and primary schools pay attention to developing physicaleducation and school sports; maintaining mid-day exercise sessions, and organizing extracurricular sports activities for students with football and chess. Thanks to that, the sports movement in My Thinh commune has developed widely to all classes of people in the commune. In 2022, at the My Loc District Sports Festival, My Thinh Commune Sports Team ranked 3rd. Developing the sports movement not only brings healthy physical strength to the people but also creates a joyful, exciting atmosphere, solidarity and cohesion in the community, building a healthy cultural living environment in the locality.

In the coming time, the Party Committee and People's Committee of My Thinh commune will continue to direct the mobilization of social resources to invest in improving the quality of facilities and purchasing equipment for sports training. Promote the role of mass sports clubs such as football, tug of war, folk dancing... Actively participate in sports competitions organized by the district, bringing the sports movement of the commune to develop more and more./.
