Italian term or phrase: le discipline sportive più vicine alle famiglie
This is simply to ask whether this is saying

"sports most loved by families", or
"the sports closest to families"

- if it is the latter, I don't understand what they mean. Context reads:

"Per vocazione, [company] è dalla parte di ogni sport,
e in ogni paese seleziona le discipline sportive più vicine alle famiglie..."

I think they are referring to the most popular sports among people who are not professionals and the most popular sports for children (swimming, soccer, tennis, volleyball, basketball, etc.)
