Research shows satisfaction is high in grassroots sport
New research published today by Sport England shows a high level of satisfaction amongst people taking part in grassroots sport.
Regular participants from over 40 sports gave an overall satisfaction rating of 80.3 out of 100 across ten areas - including coaching, exertion and fitness, officiating, facilities and value for money. The figures will help national governing bodies to drive improvements in their sports for their customers.
Building partnerships between higher education and grassroots sport Sport England, supported by British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS), has launched a consultation on our plans to further develop the partnership between higher education and grassroots sport.
This partnership plan sets out how Sport England, BUCS and others in higher education can create a sustainable relationship and work together to get 300,000 students playing and enjoying more sport by 2012/13. We'd like to hear your views.
