  • BLM Statement Final Branded
    Sport and recreation sector commit to tackling inequality The appalling death of George Floyd, the global protests that have followed and the powerful message of the Black Lives Matter movement has made every section of society take notice and confront an ugly truth. Sport and recreation has an influential role to bring about meaningful change and this period has rightly led the sector to reflect, listen, question, learn and openly discuss how to take positive action. It is acknowledged that up to this point, we have not done enough. It is time to confront racism and inequality that exists across sport, from grassroots participation through to the boardroom. Research by the Sport and Recreation Alliance (2018) showed that four in ten (40%) of BAME participants have endured a negative experience in sport or physical activity settings, more than double that of white participants. A 2020 Sport England report demonstrates that just over 50% of black people in England meet the recommended levels of physical activity each week. The Diversity in Sport Governance report (2018/19) identified there is only 5% BAME board representation across Sport England and UK Sport funded organisations. Constructive work has already been started to address a number of these problems including a committed effort to increase boardroom diversity, additional funding to tackle inequality and an array of inspiring inclusiveness projects from across the sport and recreation sector. This can only be seen as the start. Systemic change must be made at all levels so that we can become truly reflective of our wonderfully diverse society. We can no longer rely on black role models at the elite level speaking out, we must join together to become better and to support every member of the sport and recreation community.

  • The UK Netball Superleague: a Case Study of Franchising in Elite Women's Sport
    The UK Netball Superleague: A Case Study of Franchising in Elite Women's Sport Dr. Louise Mansfield, Deputy Director BC.SHaW, Brunel University, School of Sport and Education, Kingston Lane, Uxbridge, Middlesex. UK. UXB 8PH Tel: +44 (0) 1895 267561 Email: [email protected] Dr. Lara Killick, Assistant Professor (Sociology of Sport and Sport Pedagogy) University of the Pacific, Department of Health, Exercise and Sport Science, 3601 Pacific Avenue, Stockton, CA. 95211. Tel: (209) 946 2981 Email: [email protected] 1 The UK Netball Superleague: A Case Study of Franchising in Elite Women's Sport Abstract This paper draws on theories of franchising in examining the emergence of the UK Netball Superleague in 2005. The focus of the paper is to explore the development of an empowered franchise framework as part of England Netball's elite performance strategy and the consequences of the Superleague for player performance, team success, and commercial potential of the franchises. The findings from 22 in-depth interviews conducted between 2008-2011 with franchise personnel and sport media/marketing consultants inform the discussion. The paper further comments on the implications of the empowered franchise system for developing NGB elite performance strategies. Introduction Emerging in the late 19th century as a sport “initially designed and traditionally administered as an activity for promoting appropriate forms of femininity” (Tagg, 2008, p 410), Netball is played by more than 20 million people in over 80 nations across the globe (INFA, 2011). It is an invasion ball game predominantly played by girls and women between teams of 7 players.

    GARW VALLEY COMMUNITY SPORTS HUBS – FEASIBILITY STUDY A REPORT BY JANUARY 2018 CONTENTS Page Section 1 – Introduction and Background 1 Section 2 – Need Analysis 3 Section 3 – Community Hub Options and Financial 12 Projections Section 4 – Conclusions and Way Forward 27 APPENDICES Appendix A – Market Segmentation Appendix B – Facility Audit Appendix C – Facility Analysis Appendix D – Management Options Appendix E – Financial Projections Appendix F – Stakeholder Workshop Attendees Appendix G – Project Plan SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Introduction 1.1 Bridgend County Borough Council (the Council) as lead body for Reach (the Rural Development Programme for Bridgend) is currently seeking to explore the potential for the development of one or more sports based community sports hubs in the Garw Valley. 1.2 As a result RPT Consulting has been appointed to develop a feasibility study for community sports hubs based in the Garw Valley, which will seek to address the needs of the local population and key stakeholders. Background 1.3 Currently in the Garw Valley as with all other areas in Bridgend, sports and community groups are considering the transfer of sports and community venues and assets from the Council, through the Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process. 1.4 Some of the assets within the Garw Valley are in a poor state of repair and well below an acceptable standard. The cost of repairing and maintaining these assets is beyond the reach of many of the sport and community groups and therefore a potential solution is being sought to ensure that sporting and community activities are not lost. 1.5 To support the CAT process, Reach has already produced a ‘Rural Community Asset Transfer Toolkit’ which provides groups with a step by step guide to asset transfer and also commissioned a report ‘Review of Sustainable Community Venues and Assets in Bridgend County Borough’, which provides a detailed understanding of the issues faced by groups who both currently are or are considering managing/owning/leasing community facilities.
