What to think about BEFORE starting to plan a grassroots sport event?

It is important for an organization to consult with stakeholders to identify what the community needs, what activities are required, and if they have appropriate resources. A stakeholder is anyone who has an interest in the organization. These can include government leaders, ministry of sport, local municipality or council authorities, teachers, participants, spectators, and parents.

Also important is identifying the right target audience for a sport program in terms of who is involved – older people, youth, or those with disabilities. As a grassroots leader, providing sport activities that allow for mass participation is important.

Choosing the right tools (sport and games) and assessing available spaces is also important. In many rural communities there are many open spaces that can safely be used for sport; in the city, however, it can be more difficult to find appropriate spaces to play. The type of space needed is an important consideration, as well as sports chosen, because they will have an impact on equipment needs too.
