Sport for All is a concept that was introduced by the IOC in 1985 in order to add grass root sport to the Olympic Movement It promotes the Olympic ideal that “sport is a human right for all individuals regardless of race, social class and sex.” The benefits of this are that it doesn’t just target elite sport performers, and it critically states that it is a basic human right for everyone and anyone in the world to have access to facilities and assistance.
The FA has been keen to make sure that everyone is able to have that provision, that opportunity and the important esteem. The Asian community only makes up 1% of the football audience. After carrying out a survey called ‘Asians Cant Play Football’ the FA concluded that football laws extremely popular amongst Asian youngsters, however clubs felt that they didn’t think that Asians were interested or unsuitable. Consequently, many amongst the Asian community said that they had confidence that they could do break through and make it if given the opportunity. After forming Woking Groups ot tackle the issue they felt they had to hit four key areas.
1) Education and Awareness, meaning that ignorance amongst key people in the football community had to be eradicated and to hold seminars and workshops to target different audiences to increase levels of awareness.
2) Coaching Courses, inform everyone in Coaching training about Asians in football and also training coaches from these communities
3) Football Academies and Centre of excellence, all these facilities need to target the minority and open up the opportunity for them and extended their involvement as well as picking the best talent from all backgrounds within the academies area.
4) Grassroots Football, the involvement of Asians in football raises many issues from combating racist abuse and violence on the pitch. Initiatives have been set up to combat this through County FA’s and bodies involved with Let’s Kick Racism Out of Football campaign.
The FA has also funded a number of projects along with Sport England to combat this.
The final thing the FA thought was important was to make sure that Asian youngsters had role models on a national level to help them breakthrough, and they have reached a big mile stone in promoting this idea which may see a change for the Asian community very soon.

“Sport for All” is a movement promoting the sporting ideal that sport is for all individuals regardless of race, social class and sex. The movement encourages sports activities that can be of use to those of all ages, both sexes and different social and economic conditions. It allows all to become more active and helps the population become more healthy and less reliant on electrical equipment to stimulate them. A programme like this greatly improves a countries performance during world competitions and sporting events.
2) Describe three basic requirements necessary in order to participate in sport and recreation.
(3 marks) ?????
3) Participation in sport is affected by social influences. Using one disadvantaged group as an example what is meant by access, opportunity, provision and esteem when applied to participation in sport. (5 marks)
An example of a disadvantaged group could be that of strict Muslim females. Such as Jess from the film Bend it like Beckham. Even living in a very multicultural society such as London, her family are intend on making sure she stays and home and becomes a proper “house-wife” in other ways, to stay at home and be bossed by a dominating male. This can show the low amount of strict Muslim women competing in sporting events.
4) Outline reformative policies that have been used to increase participation of disadvantaged groups. (3 marks)
There have been many policies put into place to increase the participation of disadvantaged groups such as disabled or elderly people. Money has been spent to improve local fitness or health centres with simple things like separate toilets, pools that are easier to exit and enter for those with disadvantages, and qualified fitness instructors for those in wheelchairs etc. Money has also been spent to make more sports areas such as tennis courts, basketball and football pitches, which are free for all. By spending more money to increase the amount of sporting facilities, the next generations of performers and athletes can be found, and without the provision they may have never been found.
5) At local level, sports clubs are the basic unit of sports administration. Describe how amateur sport clubs are organised and funded. (5 marks)
To fund a local team a variety of methods may be used. Firstly, a small donation will need to be made by the players of the team every match or training session. The players will also need to pay a larger amount to join a club (sometimes between £100 - £300 – depending on age groups) which will go towards the club. This money will be used for the rental of the pitches, kits and equipment and the payment if the manager/coach etc. If a company – such as a fast food branch wish to get involved with the club they may help with issues such as kits and will sponcer the team to get publicity.

1) Sport for all can be defined as physical performance oppertunities for all members of the community with emphasis on participation rathert than performance standards. Sports for all programmes mean everyone can have a go at sports abd not have to worry about whether thet feel they are not good enough.
2) umm isnt this just oppertunity, provision and esteem??
3) A disadvantaged group would definatly not have the basic needs of partipation. They would firstly not have access to sprts which wolud mean they couldnt get into sport in the first place even if they truely wanted to. There may be barriers to the gruops oppertunity to take part and no provisions to allow them to endure their sport. They wolud suffer from low esteem and think to negatively of what people think of them which wolud result in a pessimistic view on themselves. An example of a disadvantages gruop such as this could be third world coutires such as africa in the poorest areas.
4) A number of policies have been introduced to benifit disadvantaged groups such as the elderly or disabled people. People with disabilties, have until recently had little oppertunity to take part in sport. Oppertunities for disabled sports men and women is now increasing rapidly wiyh lots of new sports facilties to provide access for people of all abilties. Bodies such as the British Paralympic Association and the British Sports Association for the dissabled are constantly promoting sport for the disabled. For the elderly at many sports centres special sessions have been devised for older people so that they can feel safe and under little stress when taking part in sports, it is really important that less abled bodied people continue to recieve relevant sporting facilities as it is just as important for them to maintain a postive social life and a healthy life style.
5) Amatuer sports clubs are funded mainly by membership systems e.g the member who attend the club have an agreed sum of money that they pay to the club to be a part of it. They may reciveve sports council grants. Ameuter sports clubs are generally organised by small voluntary comitees.
1. The term; ‘Sport for all’ is an initiative by the government and local bodies to include all types of people in sport. The aim is to increase participation by all people regardless of sex, age, race or class, with particular emphasis on groups with low participation such as disabled, post-16, women, 50 years plus, and the unemployed. Sports for all programmes have helped break down social barriers that might not have been achieved in the normal way of life.
-the ‘sport for all’ programme unites communities together
