Compared to foundation level the facilities are going to be less expensive and are going to use places such as sports halls, fields generally places that are inexpensive, their for the facilities used at this level are going to be less advanced.
Fiscal: As an elite performer at this level the athlete or teams are going to have more money as they can be sponsored to use certain brands their for saving them money for things they may need e.g kits, equipment, facilities. Also their performance is being publicly watched, resulting in earning money from winning or doing well in competitions etc.At foundation level clubs are set up by coaches, and the clubs generally dont have a lot of funds as the clubs may not be well known and this stage isn't professionally theirfor money isnt being made from performances however at this stage they don't spend money on equipment and the facilities they use are not needed to be payed for whereas at elitelevel facilities are going to cost a lot more as they need more advanced facilities such as sports labs.
Time: Elite level performers use a lot of time to analyse their performance whereas as foundation use less time as they dont generally analyse however if they do it is whilst takong part in a school activity.
