Before we start to investigate things further, can you think of 3 reasons why
participation in sport may have grown?



Now then, to the heart of it… In 2002 the UK government published Game Plan: A
strategy for delivering the Governments sport and physical activity objectives.
The overall aim was:
“To increase significantly levels of sport and physical activity, particularly among
disadvantaged groups and to achieve continued levels of success in international
competition.”
Although the Game Plan document is huge, you are quite welcome to download it
and have a read if you want it.....however the main priorities of Game Plan were:
 To begin raising mass participation for young people and adults, especially
women and the elderly
 To improves the delivery of sport and physical activity by central government
 To reduce bureaucracy and increase funding direct to the sports user, Sport
England and UK Sport
 To improve the delivery of sport and physical activity by non-governmental
bodies
 To improve the delivery of sport and physical activity by local government and
the NHS.
Question number 1; do you think Game Plan has been successful? Explain why
(remember our favourite explaining word: because, because, because).
