The below activities will foster a sporting environment that enables positive lifelong involvement in sport.
Play Well Activity
Ambition Statement
Physical literacy is increasingly recognised and embedded across sport, education and community settings, supporting lifelong participation and movement confidence.
Build a culture of sport in and around schools
More schools are delivering quality physical literacy and sport experiences, helping children develop the confidence, competence and motivation to be active throughout life.
Implement Community Competition and Representative Sport Standards
Participating sports have adopted and implemented agreed standards, leading to more positive experiences, reduced early specialisation, improved retention and safer competition environments.
Pilot and scale community led sport delivery models
Sports have successfully tested and adopted locally led participation models that better reflect community needs, resulting in more flexible participation opportunities, increased engagement from underrepresented communities, and stronger connections between sport and local communities.
