But decision-makers are putting forward analyses and solutions which tie in with their political persuasion, experience and personal views, meaning there’s little consensus, so while it’s obvious something’s wrong, putting a finger on what exactly it is will prove difficult and finding an effective and enduring solution is going to be even more of a challenge. But whatever the reasons – and there are doubtless many – no-one could argue that we were seeing a very large number of bored, directionless kids running amock and having – in their own minds – a great adventure, without any regard for the consequences whatsoever. Oscar Pistorius, Paralympic In seeking to present a balanced picture of life in the areas worst affected by the riots, journalists have gold medalist looked for success stories as well as tales of desperation and it’s been interesting that all the case studies I’ve read have involved young people being saved by sport in some way. There have been stories from kids about e-mail: please use contact’s how coaches have acted as mentors – and in some cases de facto parents – encouraging them to stay out of [email protected] trouble and to take a positive direction in their lives, how the challenge of sport has provided a focus and given SUBSCRIPTIONS them structure and direction, and how the comradeship has given them an alternative to the gang. Denise Gildea +44 (0)1462 471930 When I first started work in this industry in the early 80s these were all the messages we were promoting to EDITOR government and it was well acknowledged that investment in sport kept kids off street corners, contributing Liz Terry to community cohesion and providing an outlet and channel for the restless energy of youth.

DM advised the Board there were over 4,000 views during that weekend in 90 different countries; in comparison, the previous total views for the entire year was 5,500.

  • Strategic Plan | Great Britain
    STRATEGIC PLAN | GREAT BRITAIN British Handball, England Handball and Scottish Handball have taken huge strides to capitalise on the legacy of the London 2012 Olympics. IHF funding through the New Markets’ Project has been instrumental in the rise in popularity and participation of handball in Great Britain (GB) since the partnership began in 2015. The project is currently in its second phase. Support from the project covers grassroots activities in England and Scotland as well as the four GB age group national team programmes (F17, F19, M18 and M20). The England Handball Association (EHF) and Scottish Handball Association (SHA) are both very active and seeing a lot of success at the grassroots level. 1,700 teams took part in this year’s EHA Schools Championship, 300 more than last year. The GB age group teams train monthly and participate in a number of competitions gaining valuable experience. There are about 130 players in the four programmes, which remain primarily self-funded by players and coaches. The age group teams have competed in 12 official championships (IHF Trophy or EHF Championship) in the past four years. Great Britain have also seen a number of players sign professional contracts with second division teams in Spain, Sweden, Portugal and France, first division teams in Portugal, and some lower divisions in other countries. Additionally, three GB coaches are coaching teams in the second and third divisions in Norway. One of these coaches, Scott Harrington led Sola to an undefeated season capturing the second division title and a promotion to the Norwegian Elite League. 2019 RESULTS 3rd IHF Men’s Emerging Nations Championships: 4th Women’s U19 EHF Championships 2019: 10th .

  • Study on Sports Agents in the European Union
    STUDY ON SPORTS AGENTS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION A study commissioned by the European Commission (Directorate-General for Education and Culture) November 2009 KEA – CDES – EOSE: Study on sports agents in the European Union 2 KEA – CDES – EOSE: Study on sports agents in the European Union EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. Overview of the study In March 2007, the European Parliament invited the European Commission to assist football bodies and organisations in improving the regulations governing sports agents 1. In July 2007, the European Commission indicated in its White Paper on Sport 2 that it would “ carry out an impact assessment to provide a clear overview of the activities of players’ agents in the EU and an evaluation of whether action at EU level is necessary, which will also analyse the different possible options ”. The European Commission’s terms of reference for this study confirm that the European Commission “ wants to have an analysis of the situation regarding sports agents in all the sports they deal with”. The aim of the study is therefore to examine the situation of sports agents in the European Union and to identify, analyse and describe the questions that their activities give rise to as well as the solutions that have already been provided by public and/or private actors, thus enabling the European Commission to assess – on the basis of the data collected, the problems identified and the analyses carried out – whether intervention is required and, if so, at what level and in what form. The study develops, for the first time, a European outlook on the issue of sports agents.
