The Pyramid

The sports participation pyramid shows how we develop from mass participation to excellence in sport.

The greater the number of people who become involved at the participation level, the broader the base and more likely there will be a greater increase in those at elite level.

Stage 1 - Foundation

This is the base of the pyramid.

Most participants are learning/experiencing basic sports skills.

Good exercise/skill habits are initially formed here.

Examples: Primary PE lessons, Top Play activities, Sports Centre's.

Stage 2 - Participation

This is the stage when young people begin their journey into sport and participate regularly with enjoyment.

Examples: Sports Development - after-school coaching, festivals and school/club links

Stage 3 - Performance

During this stage young people begin to concentrate and focus more on sport-specific skills and develop talent in specific sports.

Quality coaching is essential for player development at this level.

Examples: Coaching weeks, Manchester Youth Games, Sports Clubs

Stage 4 – Elite/Excellence

The peak of the pyramid where individuals reach sporting excellence, The pyramid narrows as less people compete at this level – lucky ones!

Examples: National Governing Bodies e.g. FA, RFL, LTA

Personal Readiness and the PARQ (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire)

It is important that you are aware of your current level of fitness before participating in any physical activity.

An awareness of your fitness is important before planning a personal exercise programme (PEP). If you answer no to all the questions then you are ready to perform safely.

Complete your own PARQ and highlight any areas of concern.

Task:

Plenary:

1. In pairs, identify the components of fitness you would highlight to test and how they would be measured. This could be related to your chosen activity.

2. List a number of different questions you would include in your own PARQ.
