About this Section:
This section looks at the role of National Governing Bodies (NGB's) and how they support their particular sport.
Activity:
Your task is to select an NGB (e.g. The FA) of your choice and answer the questions below:
-
-
- How was it formed?
- Explore its history and origins?
- What are the main functions on NGB's and how does you NGB achieve them?
- Research what a Whole Sport Plan (WSP) is and what are the aims of your NGB's WSP.
- How do they look to raise participation levels?
- How does it support elite athletes?
- What does your NGB do to support facility development?
- What is it particularly doing to support the growth of women's sport?
-
See how you get on with your research. Don't worry if you cannot answer all these questions, some NGB's make it easier to find this information than others.
