Summary of Module

 This module builds on Level 7 and 8 sport development modules, whereby students apply this knowledge and understanding of sport development through analysis of its benefits to society and its communities. It will explore and examine the main role players from the public, private and voluntary sectors who influence the delivery of sport development. 

Students will identify and critically analyse how personal, social, economic and political factors can influence and impact on the delivery of sport development requiring students to create and produce professionally presented sport development initiatives, showing how sport development contributes to the reduction, prevention or rehabilitation of negative issues and behaviours which impact upon communities whilst increasing participation.  

During this module students will be able to develop various skills, such as transferable ones gained by team working (in tutorial tasks) and communication skills which will show awareness of own and others' roles and responsibilities through verbal presentations, using a variety of media.

This module will be explored through a variety of academic sources, the application of policies and principles and practices of the many organisations which contribute to the delivery of sport and sport development. 

Overall, students will explore, examine and critically analyse sport development and its importance to the development and enhancement of society.
