  1. Excellence and Participation in the UK: Opportunity, Provision and Esteem. Mr P. Leighton Contemporary Sporting Issues Socio-cultural Issues

  2. Today’s Session… • Understand and be able to explain sports development in terms of… • Sports Development Pyramid. • Continuum of Mass participation to Excellence. • Understand the terms Opportunity, Provision and Esteem and how they affect participation. • Look at the different groups which are marginalised in sport.

  3. The Sports Participation Pyramid… • It is important to know this… especially the two middle layers and the difference between them.

  4. The Continuum: Task 1. • stand up and create a line. • In this line rearrange yourself according to your commitment to… • Sport- How high you have played… • Sport- How many times you train… • College- How often you attend lectures…

  5. The Continuum from Mass Participation to Sporting Excellence… • Q: What changes as you move from left to right? • Skill • Commitment • Organisation Mass Participation Sporting Excellence

  6. Explanation… • Mass Participation: More important to take part than to win. • Physical Activity is pursued for health, fitness and enjoyment. • Lifelong physical activity- Lifetime sport- Lifelong participation. • “Sport for All” has been pursued by HCO’s for over 30 years. • Mass Participation, theoretically, increases the potential talent pool to be supported to the top. • Mass Participation supports the idea that everyone should have the chance to excel and participate at whatever level regardless of age, gender, ability, wealth, race or religion.

  7. Sporting Excellence… • “A state of exceptional merit or quality” • Involves elite or professional, highly skilled or motivated performers. • National or International competition to win. • “Selective and Exclusive”. • So why do other countries have more performers coming through to the top?

  8. Opportunity, Provision and Esteem… • Access is obviously a “Way in” to sport • This works like a jigsaw- if your missing a piece then your puzzle is incomplete- Chances are diminished to succeed.

  9. Social and Cultural Factors… • Society is “Stratified”. This means that unfair “stacking” occurs where the dominant members of society receive the greatest freedom and opportunity. • Think Lego bricks? • Who do you think is at the bottom? • What about those who are doubly restricted i.e. black female? Asian and disabled?

  10. Discrimination and Minority Groups… • Who are the minority groups in society? • Young People • The Elderly • The Disabled • Women • Ethnic Minorities What affects their participation?

  11. Key words from today…

  12. Work for You… • Pick a minority group within the 5 mentioned earlier. • Work in a group of 6 to produce a power point presentation on this area plus handouts. • You should look at the issue, the impact of social and cultural factors and the possible measures to increase participation and influence excellence. • Due for next Wednesday (before your exam)
