Objective: The main goal of this research was to design and formulate the development strategies for indigenous traditional sports in Baluchestan. Methodology: The statistical population of this study was all athletes, experts, referees, coaches, administrators and specialists of indigenous traditional sport in Baluchestan. The sample size (n= 370) is obtained using Morgan Table and it was based on stratified random sampling. The Kolmogorov Smirnov test (Z=3.7) also showed that the data distribution is normal (P<0.05). We used the open-ended and closed-ended questions. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by five sports management professors and the reliability of the closedended questions were verified using the Cronbach’s alpha test where the coefficient was 0.93. Results: The research data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test, Friedman test, and SWOT. Conclusion: After examining the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, the assessment matrix of internal and external factors about the indigenous traditional sports in Baluchestan indicated that general directorate of Youth and Sport rural/tribal sports delegations in Sistan and Baluchestan province should consider the WO (conservative) strategy for developing the indigenous traditional sports in this province.
