Being an important component of our country's Higher Education, Vocational Colleges train the technical staff that needed in the whole society. In the situation of our country's vigorously development of the Higher Vocational Education, Colleges in Henan province have developed very fast .During the period of 1999 to 2007, there are 13 key technical secondary schools in Henan Province that had been approved by the Ministry of Education alone or combined into the Higher Vocational and Technical Colleges. Although these colleges have upgraded to Higher Vocational Colleges formally, their conditions for running schools and infrastructure have not really reached the level of the upgraded. With the increased enrollment every year, the sports teaching in these colleges is facing severe test.
