Latest phase of sport strategy launched
08/06/2004
The latest phase of a five year plan to increase adult
participation in sport was launched today.
Nine individual strategies have been developed to
deliver the targets set out in 'Sport 21 2003-2007'
A wide range of organisations in Scottish Sport
including local authorities and governing bodies of sport
will be responsible for delivering the targets.
Scotland's national strategy for sport aims to shape
Scotland's sporting future with the clear priority to get
more Scots playing sport more often and to allow everyone
in Scotland to realise their full potential.
Launched in March 2003, it sets out 11 key targets for
Scottish Sport by 2007, which are aimed at taking the first
steps towards an overall target of increasing adult
participation in sport by 2020.
The targets are all based on three visions for Scotland
- a nation where sport is more widely available to all;
sporting talent is recognised and nurtured; and world class
performances in sport are achieved and sustained.
