Founded in 2020, the Aerial and Pole Sports World League is a non-governmental and non-profit making international organisation with the basic aim of furthering aerial and pole sports with the intention of becoming the governing body for all national pole and aerial associations worldwide, overseeing rules and regulations, and  seeking technological improvement for these exciting sports globally. Bringing people together from all over the world who are passionate and inspired about the future of Aerial and Pole Sports, creates an inclusive and diverse "Sports for All" environment.These types of recreational activities would not be the sports they are today without the dedication and fierce enthusiasm from organisations who have encouraged hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals who have diligently worked hard over the past two decades to raise industry standards, change perceptions and increase awareness of the physical and mental health benefits participating in sporting pursuits brings.   In every industry there are differences between how a sport is managed, promoted, regulated etc., not just between organisations but also in countries on a global basis. The sporting industry has many examples of this over the past hundred years alone in a range of sports. This shows how important it is to continue having conversations, challenge perceptions and outdated values, and introduce the potential for a sport to evolve alongside the individuals who participate. Giving space for everyone to have a voice is the only way to ensure best practises for fairness, a culture of inclusiveness and strengthen collaborative relationships to deepen positive sporting values.
