Most of us have participated in sport, but many may be unaware of the different sectors that we have participated within. All sports provision falls under one of three sectors: voluntary, public and private. There are many advantages and disadvantages to each of these sectors which may explain people's reasons for and against participating in each one.

	Advantages	Disadvantages
provision - This sector is made up of not-for- organisations, such as Sport England and local authorities, who collectively aim to increase participation rates across the whole UK population.	Low cost of participation as memberships and admission charges are heavily to encourage participation Increases mass through school provision, giving all pupils the opportunity to try out sports Wide range of sporting opportunities available to allow people to try out different activities	Funding usually covers the bare minimum, meaning that facilities are often basic and equipment is often cheap, limited in range, and out- Many facilities and equipment may restrict access to certain groups, e.g. basic swimming facilities may lack a pool for people with disabilities who struggle with steps into the pool Additional products and services (e.g. refreshment facilities) are likely to be low priority on the budget
provision - This sector is made up organisations that seek to maximise by tailoring sport and fitness provision around the public needs, in order to attract as many paying members as possible.	Sports and physical activities are specific for individual needs. For example, many facilities are able to put on fitness classes that members request. Equipment is wide-ranging and incorporates the newest technological advancements There are often extra products and services available, such as a in a fitness centre where children can be supervised, or access to sports therapists at an elite club for treatments to injuries	Memberships can be very , which may be a barrier to participation among low socio-economic groups Some centres can be socially discriminative, such as tennis clubs, which have an image of exclusivity
provision - This sector is run by people who have an interest in a particular sport and want to provide opportunities for local people from all backgrounds to participate and compete.	A range of sports are often available within the local area for a wide range of people with different interests to participate Cost of participation is as it is run by people who aren't looking to make a profit Grants access to additional services, such as an individual approach to training and improving personal skills	Some clubs may still exclude some groups; for example, there are a lot more opportunities for males than there are for Some clubs may not be able to continue running without enough funding; for example, if people don't pay fees then the club might not be able to afford facility hire for training The life circumstances of volunteers might change, making it more difficult for them to give up their to run clubs
