Community Strategy

Wales' sport sector has set its sights on achieving a big ambition. Not limiting itself any longer to merely increasing the rate of sports participation, nor to a steady increase in the number of elite medals won, but firmly committing to the aspiration that we can achieve bigger, better outcomes by stretching ourselves.

As such, we've signed up to getting every child, without exception, hooked on sport for life, and to establish Wales as a nation of champions. This necessitates radical thinking around how sport is planned, offered and promoted. Its appeal needs to be wider, deeper and capable of sustaining interest and passion right through to adulthood.

A new, sector-wide Community Sport Strategy has been developed. Building on the Vision for Sport,the strategy sets out clear priorities to enable a dramatic shift in the range and number of people involved in local sport. It also provides further guidance to those responsible for planning and running sport in Wales.
