Collins (1995) defined Sports Development as a process in which real opportunities, processes, systems and structure are created to boost people participation into sport and recreation or to improve their performance to any grade they wish to achieve. By that time in the UK, Sport Development was linked to increase participation and creation of opportunities, as Collins highlights in his definition.

Sports teams, or professional athletic organization, are extremely important institutions within a city or region.

Within E&W there is no specific mention of hate crime legislation; however there is the broad adoption of a legislative framework, focusing on a human rights perspective; inclusive of both minority and majority groups (Giannasi, 2008). E&W’s legislative approach allows for the following:
How sport is presented and supported today can mean total success or deep failure tomorrow. Every year the government of Canada provides money for athletics through three programs all of which add up to around $256 million, but that is only going towards the athletes, not even the facilities. The average cost to build a new professional facility is $6 billion, and to build a simple recreational center it costs $5.7 million. Contractors and businessmen set budgets before building anything new but the budgets always rise; regions get no economic boost from spending money on tickets and building projects and spectators are becoming uninterested in watching live games. The government should not use taxpayer dollars to support athletes and build
There are a number of career opportunities within the world of sports and it is my aspiration to change the world one person at a time. I will continue to assess not only the needs in the organization I am a part of but the current benefits, and recent issues that I have seen especially in the perspective as a league director. In this paper, I will continue to examine my strategic plan to not only become a successful Sports League Director but to also share some improvements I proposed to my director and staff and the outcome thereafter. I will also discuss a few ethical issues and dilemmas in having a sports league organization that I have already noticed and might face myself in the future.

Sport Equity is about fairness; creating equality of access by recognising inequalities and acting to address them. It is about changing the culture and structures of sport to ensure that it becomes equally accessible to all members of society, whatever their age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, or social economic status (Lancashire Sport, 2017). Action plans to address sport equity and access matters are often linked to Figueroa’s framework (Amezdroz, G., Dickens, S., Hosford, G., Stewart, T., Davis, D., 2010). Figueroa’s Framework was a tool developed by Professor Peter Figueroa to investigate the issues surrounding access, equity and equality in sport and physical activity (Amezdroz, G., Dickens, S., Hosford, G., Stewart, T.,
The influence that modern sports have had on society within the past few centuries is profound. Billions of individual’s worldwide tune in through various forms of media in order to support their most revered establishment. Throughout the hardships and adversities that humanity has overcame, and will continue to overcome, one can turn to the world of sports to escape from these destitutions.

Sports development services encourage and deliver an extensive range of high quality programmes and initatives designed to succeed in a long term and sustainable increase in sport and physical activity.

Research has gone a long way to implement the revised national curriculum which was due to the concerns raised due to the fact as a country we are falling behind on the national league tables as we are in position 23 (DfEE, 2013), which is quite disappointing as English is our first language within Britain, and we have made no improvements within the last three years (DfEE, 2013).
