CSNs An integral element of the Single System
for Sport but what are they?

• A locally co-ordinated network whose core
  functions are
• To increase participation in sport and physical
  activity by 1 each year
• - 30mins x 3 times a week
• To widen access to opportunities. Focus on SEs
  priorities for East Midlands
• (Areas of deprivation, 45yrs males females
• BME, People with disabilities, 16yrs females)

CSNs will aim to

• Comprise of a group of local partners from
  various and relevant organisations to represent
  sport and physical activity in each district.
• Identify local needs and potential interventions.
• Develop a shared vision and create an action plan
  that feeds into CSP.

CSNs will aim to

• Secure resources from a broad range of partners
  to deliver identified interventions within action
  plan.
• Build capacity to increase participation and
  widen access to opportunities with emphasis on
  people rather than places
• - develop clubs, coaches and volunteers

A CSN that works for us

• There is not a prescribed structure for CSNs
• A coordinated network to suit the district that
  is responsive to local need.
• Already many established networks across country
  
• Bedford, Leicestershire, West Yorkshire
• Supported by N-Sport, the CSP and linked to or
  working towards a link the LSP and LAA.
