During the period of the Lesotho Sports Council the number of sporting codes grew from just two to twenty-five and included taekwondo, boxing, tennis and darts amongst others.
The Lesotho Sports Council was later replaced by the Lesotho Sport & Recreation Commission in 2002 through the Lesotho Sport & Recreation Act No. 15 of 2002. Currently, the LSRC has twenty-seven member Associations which include table tennis, handball, cycling
