What is Sports Development?
Fundamentally, sports development is about providing opportunities for people of all ages, regardless of gender, race or ability, to participate in sport at a level that is appropriate to their ability – from beginner to world class performer.

Quite simply it is about creating pathways and setting up structures that enable sports performers to get started, keep going, get better and be the best!

Why Plan?
Writing a sports development plan can often help a region and its clubs to focus its efforts and ensure that everyone is working together in striving towards the same goal and a shared vision. It can help ensure that resources are maximised, priorities identified and a duplication of work is avoided.

What is a Sports Development Plan?
A sports development plan is a clear and concise document that outlines an organisation’s goals and how they will be achieved.
It does not need to be a long and complex document, but essentially needs to answer three questions:

· Where are we now?
· Where do we want to be?
· How are we going to get there?

In Sport will help you to create and implement the plan that can help your organisation to keep moving forward and decide what direction to take next. With you, we will create a good plan that will be flexible enough to accommodate changes and include new opportunities. Planning is an on-going process that needs to be continually reviewed and we will be happy to embark this adventure with you.
