Unit 4 Sports Development Assignment
Purpose of this assignment
Sports Development has evolved over the last twenty years and is an important part of today’s sports industry. This assessment will provide you with an insight into sports development focusing on key concepts such as the sports development continuum, barriers to participation in sport and knowing about key providers of sport in the UK. Scenario
In a joint initiative between the College and the sports development unit at the council, you have been asked to promote the development of sport to local schools and clubs to raise awareness in the local community. You have a meeting with the sports development officer who has identified some areas that you can use as research in order to produce the necessary information
and material that can be given to the schools and clubs.
Task 1
I) You must choose three different sports and describe and explain how the sports development continuum and key sports development concepts are being implemented within those sports.
II) Discuss the strengths and areas of development for each sport at each level of the continuum, and provide a comparison of each strength and area of development between those different sports
This task contains evidence for P1, M1
Task 2
You must produce an extended piece of writing explaining different target groups
For the second part of the assessment, you are being asked to look at different barriers to participation for three separate target groups. You will need to focus on the following:-
i) Identification of three different target groups along with participation in physical activities ii) What barriers are there for that target group in that particular sport?
What realistic solutions could be put in place to increase that target groups participation in that particular sport?
This task contains evidence for P2, M2, D1
