Sports Development Continuum
P1 describe three examples of the sports development continuum, from three different sports
M1 compare and contrast three examples of the sports development continuum, from three different sports, identifying strengths and areas for improvement
Sports Development Continuum
Foundation: means the early development of sporting competence and physical skills (e.g. throwing, catching, and hand-eye co-ordination) upon which all later forms of sports development are based. Without a sound foundation, young people are unlikely to become long-term sports participants.

An example for participation would be SNAG golf.
