This paper proposes the concept work of sport to express an aesthetic of sports. For such it works out material from an empirical research with a female rugby team based in Florianopolis, Brazil. The everyday training as well as the play moment materialized in the contest are special times of construction of the work of sport. The work of sport, taken as aesthetic artifact in analogy to the work of art, seems to approach regarding to its constituent elements, as raw, material and form. We turn our attention especially to the first two, finding, on the one hand, the body as raw, materiality that allows the modeling and modification, and secondly, the technical gestures, the specific vocabulary of each sport, configuring itself as the material of the work of sport.

Keywords : Sport; Aesthetic; Education of Body; Rugby; Art.
