Unless you create positive and inclusive experiences within inclusive environments, then there is no common ground on which to bring people together. These environments should furnish all participants with a sense of value and equality.

People have a variety of abilities and levels of interest in sport and physical activity, which means it can represent as much a source of division as it can a means to unity if not positioned correctly. It must be carefully considered who makes up the chosen communities and their relationship with sport, otherwise, you can only bring together people who are good at and like sport and not reach those who don’t.
