Description

This unit examines the structure and function of sport delivery systems with a focus upon analysing the key agencies of sport, government, advocacy, education, health, and the commercial sectors which combine, compete and contribute to the delivery of Sport for All. Contemporary issues and challenges confronting these organisations are critically evaluated. The extent to which sport organisations at all levels adopt a Sport for All approach (which emphasises both pathways of sport development and sport equity initiatives) is evaluated with reference to specific historic, economic, socio-cultural and political imperatives. Given the globalisation and internationalisation of the sport industry, a range of perspectives and diversity-based considerations are analysed.
