elite

  school gate

• For an individual this means that their
  high-quality school experience will be replicated
  in the community environment

National Governing Bodies will be at the heart of
delivery and funded via a simple single-pot

• NGBs will develop Whole-Sport Plans to illustrate
  how they propose to deliver against key outcomes.
  
• These plans will be assessed and reviewed by
  Sport England, with NGBs then being given a
  single four-year grant to deliver.
• The single pot will replace the range of funding
  streams currently operating and reduce
  bureaucracy.

11
More frontline coaching deployed expertly

  achievement of all three public outcomes
  developing talent, improving satisfaction and
  encouraging participation.

The particularly English passion for volunteering
will be maximised

• Volunteering is a particular strength of
  community sport within England. Some 1.9m people
  volunteer in sport for at least an hour each week
  equivalent to a full-time workforce of
  over80,000 employees.

  through working with National Governing Bodies to
  attract and retain more volunteers, reduce the
  burdens faced by volunteers and ensure
  professional support enhances voluntary systems.

  satisfaction and retention and allow those with
  talent to fully develop.
• Sport England activity with partners will develop
  multi-sport clubs that will provide a diverse
  range of opportunities to fit with modern
  lifestyles and needs.

17
Creating opportunity for all

• All young people in particular should get a range
  of opportunities.
• For NGBs, developing the girls' and women's game,
  disability sport, and reaching out to diverse
  communities, is not an optional extra but a vital
  part of what they will be required to do.
• If any sport does not wish to accept this
  challenge, funding will be switched to those that
  do

bureaucracy and release more fundinginto

  level commissioner
• It will also add value to the sport sector
  through the development of centres of excellence
  and provision of regional and local knowledge and
  connectivity to delivery partners.
• Significant measures such as the creation of a
  single pot, driving delivery via National
  Governing Bodies and bringing focus to regional
  and local activity, will yield significant
  efficiency gains
