To what extent does your sport cater for ‘sport for all’?
What program/pathway could you create to improving your sport’s current delivery of ‘sport for all’?
How will you promote this new program/pathway? 3. The Review (1500 words) This report style review should provide a concise overview of how your sport caters for ‘sport for all’ and how it can improve its offering. This should include the follow elements: a) Brief Introduction (approx. 100 words)
Provide a brief introduction to what this review covers. b) What does ‘sport for all’ mean? (approx. 300 words)
Define and discuss the concept of ‘Sport for All’.
The quality of this discussion (see mark sheet) will be guided by the extent to which you are able to discuss the key concept and provide references to academic sources.
c) Explanation of your sport (approx. 200 words) Include a very brief description and history of the sport.
Name and briefly discuss the key sport organisations at the local, state, national and international levels that facilitate people’s participation in your sport. You may wish to include a Sport for All agency matrix which depicts these sport organisations.
The quality of this discussion (see marksheet) will be guided by the extent to which you are able to discuss these key points in relation to your sport using industry research sources. d) How does your sport contribute to ‘sport for all’? (approx. 400 words)
Discuss Sport Development in relation to your sport. Points to consider in your discussion include: format of competitions and contributions to sport development; most prestigious competitions at different levels; sport development programs (e.g. WAIS sport program).
Discuss Sport Equity in relation to your sport. Points to consider in your discussion include: format of competitions and contributions to sport equity; sport equity initiatives to increase participation by people from diverse backgrounds (refer to diversity content covered in week 2).
The quality of this discussion of sport development and sport equity (see mark sheet) will be guided by the extent to which you are able to access and analyse information and provide references to academic and industry research sources.
e) Identify new opportunities available to your sport (approx. 500 words) In section d) you analysed current offerings of your sport, now you need to critically evaluate and identify shortfalls in these offerings. That is, where can your sport improve to better cater for ‘sport for all’? Here you need to be critical in evaluating opportunities in order for your sport to solve the challenges/issues of providing ‘sport for all’.
From the identified areas of shortcomings, you need to develop creative and innovative ideas for a new program or pathway for the further growth of the sport. This new program/pathway must be clearly related to either sport development or sport equity. You need to outline what the program/pathway is (structure, timing, costs of participation in the program etc) and who the target audience is.
The quality of this discussion will be guided by the extent to which you are able to identify new opportunities and develop a well thought, creative and innovative program/pathway and provide references to academic and industry research sources
