Getting Young People Involved coverAll young people should have equal opportunity to participate in sport. Increasing access to junior sport has many advantages in increasing the number of people who:

  • benefit from their participation
  • later become volunteers and leaders
  • are part of the talent pool for elite sport

Although sport for all is a major objective or contemporary sport providers, marginalisation still occurs on the basis of ability, body shape, disability, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, geographical location, and socio-economic status.

Concerns with access and equity are magnified when young people belong to more than one of these groups.

It is important to recognise these issues in order to meet the challenge of all young people having the fundamental right to be physically active and play sport.
