Since its opening on December 11, 2025, the Korea Sports and Human Resources Development Institute (hereinafter referred to as the Development Institute) has actively attracted rental events for external organizations using the winter off-season before full-scale education operation in 2026 to improve the utilization of facilities.

The development institute is Korea's first customized educational institution for each life cycle of athletes and aims to cultivate athletic talents as well as operate open educational facilities that coexist with the region.

The Korea Sports Association explained, "As a result, in January 2026, before regular education begins, we plan to host and operate sports-related events for various events and targets one after another."

First of all, winter training for the youth soccer team organized by the Jangheung-gun Football Association will be held from the 9th to the 18th. The Korea Sports Association said, "About 140 youth athletes from all over the country will participate and conduct systematic camp training using the development center's accommodation and restaurant facilities."

Then, from January 21 to 23, a physical measurement event for finding gifted athletes in sports clubs will be held by the Jeollanam-do Sports Council. The Korea Sports Association said, "It is expected to be a meaningful time to discover future sports talents through physical measurement and basic data analysis with about 150 children and adolescents participating."

In addition, reinforcement training for the national team, organized by the Korean Archery Association, is scheduled. The training, which will involve about 20 national athletes in January, is expected to be an opportunity to confirm the excellence of the development center with a professional training environment and stable accommodation and support facilities.

Chairman Yoo Seung Min said, "We will actively open and utilize the facilities during the period from the opening to the start of full-fledged education," adding, "We will continue to establish ourselves as an open education and training base that revitalizes the region and contributes to the development of sports in Korea through cooperation with sports organizations, educational institutions, and public institutions at all levels."

Meanwhile, the Korea Sports Human Resources Development Institute plans to gradually operate various curriculums including leaders, athletes, and administrative personnel from 2026, and will continue to expand the attraction of sports events through the rental of external organizations. The rental may be applied after prior consultation with the practitioner on the schedule of use and the number of people, etc. through the preparation of an application for use and the procedure for receiving an official document.
