This programme is underpinned by the principles of fair play, an understanding of the inevitability of success and failure, and a recognition that increased effort and incremental improvement are required if players are to achieve their full potential. It will also focus increased attention on:

• Providing attractive alternatives to sedentary lifestyles
• Supplementing the work of voluntary officials
• Increasing involvement in urban and/or non-traditional playing areas
• Providing a blueprint for sports development in an international context – the constructs which underpin this programme can be applied on a universal basis.
