National organisations

It is important to consider sport at a national level as well as locally, as it is at national level where sport develops its elite athletes at the top level. There are many national organisations that look to develop sport at a national level, including governing bodies for each sport, and the British Olympic Association, British Paralympics Association and Special Olympics.

Each organisation plays an important role in developing sport at the national representation level, each working towards the same objective of developing excellence within UK athletes.
