Understanding the landscape of community sport

The aim of this chapter is to help you understand the roles of different organisations involved in the way sport is developed, managed and provided within communities. Primarily, this will be done by exploring community sport organisations in England, however, the reality is that some of these organisations operate across the United Kingdom or Great Britain and Northern Ireland as well. With this in mind, having read this chapter, we invite you to explore for yourselves how community sport is organised in other countries around the world.
