9. SA SPORT DEVELOPMENT a snapshot • Responsibility currently resides with federations and clubs • Focus is on Sports Development rather than SPORT as a TOOL for DEVELOPMENT • Facilities based with few programmes to support facilities • Little outsourcing of Development programmes – mostly in-house • Lack of continuity from National Academy level down to exposing the child to sport and play at school • Questionable sustainability of programmes • Plenty of ‘one off’ sponsor and media driven events • Duplication – confusion of funders & communities

10. SA SPORT DEVELOPMENT Current Programmes

11. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? • Government needs to seriously consider driving development – this will allow the federations to focus on high performance • Multi Sport perspective is needed for sustainability • Linkages needed between all the independent programmes and government’s mass participation programme • Needs to be co-ordination across programmes to ensure that there is no longer duplication of efforts and resources • Focus needs to shift from not merely playing the game to sport as a tool for development of communities and the individual • Central long-term objective should be to make national teams representative of the population

12. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? • Government best practice in other departments needs to be observed – employ contractors to implement government’s vision • At the stage where a common programme must be identified and a suitable delivery agent appointed to ensure that this programme is a sustainable success • Implementing agent needed – oversee, co-ordinate and rollout mass participation programme • Need to co-ordinate BSRP with communities and programmes • Duplication – needs to be managed and optimised • Relationships across all levels of government
