The subject of a sustainable development is traditional for all modern states, and as steady it is necessary to recognize harmonious development, i.e. development in all directions of interaction of the personality, society and state. For the modern personality sport is means of communication, developments, happy and long life. For society sport – means of achievement of the objectives of rapprochement and unity. For the state sport – part of domestic and foreign social policy. It is considered that sport – the indicator of intellectual level of the state (economy, society, the personality) [1]. In the modern world the level of development of sport is the exact indicator of state of the economy and the social sphere, organizing sports competitions, the state takes obligations for providing the corresponding infrastructure: sports constructions, hotel complexes, highways, means of communication, etc. Therefore sport, including mass sport – the indicator of "clever" economy, and fashionable processes of modernization affect, besides economy, the relation to mass sport as to the liquid business project.
