Roles, Aims and Objectives of Two Sports Organizations

I have chosen two sports organisations involved in development schemes

and I will look at their roles, aims and objectives. The two

organsations I have chose to focus on are The National Association for

Sports Development (NASD) and The English Federation of Disability

Sport (EFDS). I chose these two organisations as I thought they would

be interesting organisations to concentrate on and I found a fair bit

of research on each of the two organisations.

Roles of organisations

[IMAGE]The National Association for Sports Development (NASD)

Ensuring access to quality sporting opportunities throughout the

community

For all ages

All levels of ability

Their role is increasingly about shaping policy

Their work is about turning national and local policy into practice.

The English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) EFDS logo

The English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) was established in

September 1998

It has brought together a number of organisations in the aim to work

together to provide better sports development schemes

Increase participation of disabled people in sports

1.2

Aims & Objectives

The aims of a scheme are likely to be:

To provide a good quality service

To promote a safe and healthy experience

To respond to local demands

The different types of aims will influence the programs and services

offered, how the facility operates and the use of resource and sports

development.

Objectives are usually set out in measurable terms and describe the

targets to be met. They will normally be a mixture of organizat...

The national association of sports development is more affective as it

has had more successes so to so speak. However you cannot compare the

two organizations head on as they have different aims and objectives

where The National Association for Sports Development (NASD) has had

successes in sports development schemes The English Federation of

Disability Sport (EFDS) has had success in its own areas.

The only area that the NASD need to work on is to help increase

participation of the disabled people because they don’t work as hard

and fund for them as much as they do for the communities compared to

the EFDS. However they do try and work on them trying to get more

involved in sport. This is due to the fact that the EFDS solely works

for the Disabled minority whereas the NASD concentrates on all

excluded groups.

  • Analysis Of Sport And The Nation

    706 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the chapter “ Sport and the Nation: Out of the Left Field ”, Gamal Abdel-Shehid and Nathan Kalman-Lamb discuss the idea of the nation, in particular, the history of how it came to existence and the application of such notion to the world of sport. The authors point out that, “ if people speak the same language, cook the same type of food, wear the same types of clothes, listen to the same types of music, have ancestors who did the same sorts of things and who lived in the same place, they are, it appears, part of the same nation” ( Abdel-Shehid,& Kalman-Lamb, 2011). However, a social theorist called Benedict Anderson analyzed nationalism through the concept of “imagined community” (Abdel-Shehid,& Kalman-Lamb, 2011). This term basically means that people tend to feel the sense of belongingness to a certain nation without actually knowing anybody (personally) from that nation. An example could be when these nations participate in events such as the Olympic Games (RIO).

  • The Special Olympics

    2697 Words  | 6 Pages

    Abstract: The Special Olympics not only give special athletes athletic skills, they offer more opportunity, encouragement, and dexterity to survive in society than the public school system alone. To understand the differences and similarities between handicapped athletes and their non-handicap peers is the first step in creating a program that best meets the child's needs. There were no community programs that catered to the mentally and physically challenged, so Eunice Kennedy-Shriver created "special games" in her back yard for her handicapped child. Shriver established the Special Olympics in 1968. Today there are more than one million special athletes competing in 140 countries. There are some problems with relying on the public school system to seek a child's full potential in the special education programs. The Special Olympics, however, have found an effective method of preparing children, teens, and adults for society through sport. The diverse selection of sports, their rules, and physical demands, is an advantage when there is a huge range of disabilities. There is a program offered for almost everyone. People who benefit from these games range from the athletes themselves, the officials, coaches, caregivers, parents, to the spectators and on-site first aid staff. Mrs. Kennedy-Shriver said this in regard to special athletes, "through sports, they can realize their potential for growth." Over and over this fantastic organization has demonstrated integrity, good sportsmanship, and goal oriented programs that work!

  • The Purpose of a Team

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    The most common purpose for a team is to bring people together with different ideas to capture many avenues in which a goal may be reached. A team offers the ability of different ideas coming together and making a decision based on all inputs of many individuals. You will get a better product from a team discussion than of an individual due to adversity among the team members. Too often if the team has one individual that doesn’t see things as the rest he is not operating as one of the team but trying to wreck the project or operation. The team must understand that maybe the purpose is to enforce the rules and regulations and keep the team within the boundaries that are set. Safety is not something that should be forgotten and all too often it is on the back shelf of every operation until the worst happens. As a safety team we must all understand that decisions made will not always be the most acceptable but may be the most right decisions made. As a quote from General Colin Powell “Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off. It’s inevitable if you’re honorable.” Many of us are not willing to accept being told what to do especially when we disagree with what is being stated. Until something changes or is determined to be obsolete it must be agreed upon within the team to comply. This is not just for the deck-plate personnel but the managerial staff as well. As part of a team we all must be onboard with operations and how they need to operate.

  • Reflection Paper In Sports Management

    Honestly, coming into this class, I had no idea what to expect. I have never been in a sports management class, and honestly don’t know much about sports with the exception of baseball. All I knew coming into this class is that it was online, which was a benefit to me as in I’m a better learner when I get to work at my own pace. However, when I read the syllabus and figured out that this class would be mainly writing proposals on different topics, it began to worry me. The last time I had written an essay was my senior year of high school, so I knew I’d have to bring out some of the old knowledge to be able to write a quality paper again. Even though writing papers is a dislike of mine, these proposals turned out to be a good experience

  • Essay On Benefits Of Physical Education

    1422 Words  | 3 Pages

    ‘Beyond 2012 – outstanding physical education for all’ makes recommendations for schools and the Department for Education to secure the quality of PE in schools and draws out improvements made to PE and sport over the last four years. The Department of Education are looking on making improvements which have generated from the London Games in 2012. They are hoping to make a new strategy for PESS to help pupils become more engaged in sporting activities in their school curriculum. The Government are advising class teachers to raise their expectations by setting more challenging and competitive PE lessons, so pupils increase their performance to a higher level. Also, to engage them in regular and high intensity activities for the full period they have been given in their timetable. As previous studies have shown, when schools were visited, teachers set activities that were too easy for children which led to boredom and lack of motivation and had no planned extra curriculum activities for the pupils. However, schools with the best PE provision had excellent PE lessons with extra curriculum hours set up for them. In 2014, there was a funding of £360,000 to train primary teachers to specialise in PE. This was to ensure children developed ‘a sporting habit for life’. Children's minister Edward Timpson said: "We have announced extra funding to create a second intake of specialist primary PE
