Target Sports
The development of Sport in the Borders is prioritised through identified target sports that provides a focus for the work of the Sports Development Unit in particular and optimises the impact of the Sport Development service
Current Target Sports:
Athletics
Badminton
Cricket
Football
Hockey
Rugby
Swimming
Tennis
Working in partnership with the National Governing Body and Local Community [Borders Sport Development Group] is an essential requirement enhancing the opportunities, pathways and infrastructure in each Sport.
Benefits of being a recognised target sport in the Borders include:
A prioritisation of resources including direct and indirect funding through the Council, allocation of sports development
Officer time, and input to facility planning and development
A prioritisation in activity programmes including athlete, coach, and club development
Target Sports are being reviewed during 2006/2007
