Sport development involves creating pathways for individuals and communities to participate in sport from young to old and novice to elite.

This course will introduce students to theories and strategies for managing and developing community sport. Students will develop applied community sport development and management skills through practical case-based coursework. This course will reflect themes around social inclusion, sustainability, and health and wellness in and through community sport. Common contemporary issues facing community sport managers and developers will be presented.
