Document Summary

[x]identify the three levels of sport in canada. [x]discuss some of the challenging issues associated with sport participation. Sport: institutionalized competitive activities that involve rigorous physical exertion or the use of relatively complex physical skills by participants motivated by internal and external rewards. Three levels of sport: community organizations in schools: these are two ways that sporting opportunities for youth are delivered. Agency-based programs: run though membership fees, fundraising, or sponsorship such as hockey canada and the canadian soccer association. National youth organization: e. g. boys and girls club/scounts and guides. Private sports clubs: those that require parents to pay significant fees and/or fundraise, especially popular in sport like gymnastics or figure skating. Municipal programs: those provided by a city or town; usually offering at an intro or recreational level and are relatively affordable: intercollegiate sport: collegiate sport is still a highly-structured and commercialized venture.
