Building on previous plans, the ASC’s key objectives are to secure an effective national sports system that offers improved participation in quality sports activities by Australians, and to secure excellence in sports performance by Australians. Supporting the ASC’s objectives are several critical result areas. These are: • greater grass-roots sports participation, particularly by youth, Indigenous Australians and people with disabilities • increased sports participation, particularly in rural and regional communities • increased membership and reach of local sporting clubs • best practice management and governance of sport within and through national sporting organisations • increased adoption of values of fair play, self-improvement and achievement • recruitment, retention and, where appropriate, accreditation of people within the sports sector • improved economic efficiency within, and commercial return to, the ASC and national sporting organisations • sustained achievements in high-performance sport by Australian teams and individuals • recognition of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) as a world centre of excellence for the training and development of elite athletes and coaches • a drug-free environment. MISSION STATEMENT 1 BOG 0008-06/02 Ann Report 16/10/02 4:06 PM Page 2 CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW The past 12 months have been a period of consolidation for Australian sport, as we face the many challenges confronting sport in the millennium. It has been the first full year in which the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) has bedded down many of the initiatives arising from the Government’s sports policy, Backing Australia’s Sporting Ability: A More Active Australia. Providing particular focus to our work has been the conscious need to enhance support for the participation end of the sports spectrum. There are worrying statistics and trends in participation data, showing declines in the number of participants in organised sporting activities. Of similar concern is the declining trend in volunteerism that, while not limited to the sport sector, is being felt strongly at the community sport level. Local sporting clubs and associations are having difficulty in attracting volunteer administrators, coaches and officials. There are no easy solutions to these trends and so, together with our partners in the sport industry, we must be proactive and lateral in our thinking and program development to address these issues. The Targeted Sports Participation Growth Program is a major initiative aimed at getting more people involved in active sports participation. The particularly pleasing aspect of this Program is that it links the corporate sector with the targeted sports and the ASC in a three-way relationship that will assist in sustaining the participation growth programs. This initiative is still in its early stages, but as it rolls out through the 23 targeted sports around the country, we look forward to the provision of improved sports participation opportunities in communities around the nation. For me, one of the most exciting initiatives launched during the last year has been the Street Active program through which, for the first time, the ASC will encourage the development of membership pathways for street sports. Skateboarding, inline skating and freestyle BMX have become increasingly popular, rivalling traditional games among our young people. Clinics are being held by Australia’s first ever accredited street sports coaches and our best street athletes, showcasing street sports in a fun, organised and safe environment. These initiatives highlight the importance of the ASC working with national sporting organisations, the states and territories, and other stakeholders to ensure a strong national sports system and the delivery of effective sports programs. Key elements of this system are school sport and community sporting clubs, which both play leading roles in junior sport in this country. The ASC is working closely with sports to build their capacity to sustain the sports system at all levels, and support from state and territory governments is vital to achieve this, especially in the school sport sector. As work continues on the development of a new national junior sport framework, this cooperation will be central to an effective delivery system. Winter sports received strong public interest during the year, culminating in the wonderful performances by Australian athletes at the 2002 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Salt Lake City. Congratulations to Steven Bradbury and Alisa Camplin, who won our first ever gold medals at the Winter Olympics, and to Michael Milton and Bart Bunting who won four and two gold medals, respectively, at the Winter Paralympics. Both Games were the most successful ever for an Australian team. The benefits and impacts of the Olympic Winter Institute, supported by the ASC along with the winter sports, are now starting to come to the fore. Together with the unprecedented levels of support for sport previously demonstrated by the Federal Government, in May 2002 the Government 2 AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001–2002 BOG 0008-06/02 Ann Report 16/10/02 4:06 PM Page 3 announced a capital injection of $41 million to maintain the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) as a world-class centre of excellence. The project, costing in total $65.4 million, will re-instate the AIS’s place at the forefront of world sport, and represents a perfect twenty-first birthday present for the Institute. I congratulate the Government on its foresight and ongoing commitment to this organisation in making this funding available. Keeping our current status in world sport is not easy, and it will remain as a major challenge for our national sport system in the future. Other nations have imitated some of our programs and structures in an endeavour to copy the secrets of our success.

Paralympic Gold Medalist and MS Ambassador, Carol Cooke will also be joining them. Brad and Ben are now Head Coach and Assistant Coach at the NSW Institute of Sport who are one of the official partners of this year’s MS Gong Ride. Carol says even though she has multiple sclerosis she’s one of the lucky ones who can cycle. “I’m urging others to take part in the MS Gong Ride too. Not only will you be supporting people with multiple sclerosis, you’ll also have one of the best days of your life. You can either form your own team or join my team – Team MS.’ Celebrating its 34th year, the MS Sydney to the Gong Ride is Australia’s most iconic charity bike ride and a special part of Sydney’s cycling heritage. The MS Sydney to the Gong Ride has become an integral part of Sydney’s cycling tradition famous for its atmosphere, spectacular scenery through the national park and across the Seacliff Bridge, wonderful volunteers and the generosity of its riders and supporters.

  • IPC Administration Manual
    PARALYMPIC ADMINISTRATION MANUAL • PARALYMPIC MOVEMENT POWERED BY The IPC’s mission is to develop Paralympic Sport around the world at all levels, and ensure the means necessary to support future growth of the Paralympic Movement. Behind this stated objective, constant hard work is being conducted on the ground – men and women through their love of sport and devotion to the Paralympic Movement use resources available to bring Paralympic Sport to life across the five continents. Without them, ParalympicS port would simply not exist. This commitment ultimately drives the continual evolution of National Paralympic Committees (NPC) and the growing events calendar. The popularity and development of Paralympic Sport now more than ever depends on the ability of our NPCs to develop and deliver quality training and competition opportunities for their athletes. For this reason, the IPC is providing managers and administrators the means which allow them to accomplish their work in the best manner possible. This Paralympic Administration Manual is a further demonstration of the IPC’s commitment in providing the Paralympic Movement with the resources needed to accomplish their goals. You will find it an extremely useful tool in developing Paralympic Sport in your region and country. This publication was made possible through funding from the German Ministry of the Interior, and adds to a wide range of programmes developed in partnership with the IPC Academy. It will contribute to raising the general quality of NPCs and Paralympic events, and will assist the growth of Paralympic Sport at all levels. On behalf of the IPC, I would like to thank all of the NPCs and their commitment to Paralympic Sport.
