profit, not by the government, and can be on a local, regional or national level.

Private Sector

• The private sector is run by businesses who aim to make good profits from providing those sport facilities.

• Facilities are typically of a high standard and are at the upper end of the price range.

• Need membership to attend (costs anything between £35-£1000, depending on the facilities and the sport)

• Over 4,400 private sports centres in the UK.

• 1,982 of those are private health and fitness clubs. These gyms have around 6.1 million consumers a year.

• The quality of the course is moderate. Obviously it is not the same quality as professional courses where you might need to pay for membership etc.

Voluntary Sector

Voluntary Sector

• The voluntary sector provides sports facilities and services which are non-profit making and are usually run by unpaid helpers or volunteers.

• They often use public sector facilities and can get sponsorship from private sector organisations.

• Examples could include a local cricket team or tennis club.

• Voluntary clubs are often free, but may need some funding from the participants in order to buy kit and/or pay the public sector to use their training facilities.

• This is a small amount such as £10 a month.

• Some kit may be provided by sponsors.• Some money may be funded from the

main club.

Dunvant RFC Youth

• Dunvant RFC’s wide range of youth teams are perfect examples of the voluntary sector.

• From under 6’s under 19’s, none of the coaches get paid, and are usually parents.

• Depending on the age group, different sponsors pay for the kit in return for their name and logo on the shirt.

All three sectors link together!

Private

Public

Voluntary

V uses the PU facilities to train and play. E.g. West End FC train on the pitches in Townhill.

PR may receive funding to allow the

V section to use the facilities. E.g. a

gym is given a grant to introduce

weightlifting.

PR may allow people to enter for a low price on promotional offers. E.g. Ashleigh road in the summer charge

£1 to use the astroturf.
