Eady (1993) describes sports development as “the process which

enhances opportunities for people of all ages, degrees of interest and

levels of ability to take part, get better and excel in their chosen sport

activities”.

Sports development is a process whereby effective opportunities,

process, systems and structures are set up to enable and encourage

people in all or particular groups and areas to take part in sport and

recreation or to improve their performance to whatever level they

desire. (Dr Ian Thomson, 1992 )

The total population within the Borough

of Corby was just over 53,000 as at the

2001 census.

The breakdown of gender is 48.7%

females and 51.3% males, which is close

to the national average.

Although the age structure in Corby

closely reflects the national figures,

there are higher proportions of young

people in Corby aged between 0 and 19

All people who were

resident in the Corby

borough at the time of
