WHAT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS
TIME
Certain people of different back grounds will not be able to spend time participating in sports as they will have other requirements and commitments. Time is a major factor in sports, without the required amount of team people may not be able to compete as they will not be able to attend matches and training.
religion (christian)
religion plays a huge part in the time that different religious people have. certain people may attend church on Sundays in order to pay respect to their religion and therefore do not have time top participate in activities such as Sunday league football.
religion (Sikh)
certain religions people have to attend different religions groups such as; the Sikh temple. people go to Sikh temples in order to show respect to their religion. this forces them out of participation in sports on the days that they go to the Sikh temple.
age groups
children that are still in school will not have time to participate in sports and outside of school activities due to work. children may have different homework that they have to complete which could take up their time forcing them to stay at home and complete the work.
resources
the level of resources has a major impact on the level of participation in sports that people from the outside will do as people may not be able to get the correct level of resources required and also may want the best level of resources and therefore may not want to participate in sports and clubs that use low level equipment.
income groups
certain groups of people may be on low income supports such as signing on, this means they will only receive a low amount of money. with people only having a low amount of money they may not have the financial needs to support the required equipment.
age groups
people of different age groups may not be able to fund the equipment needed for their sports and therefore may rely on their parents. if their parents are receiving a low level of income then they will find it harder to fund the equipment needed for their child's sport.
abilities
people with different abilities will be able to participate in sports with different levels of equipment. the higher the level of ability and the level that people play at the better their equipment for example, people at grassroots level will only have the basics whereas people at academy level will have the best level of resources.
fitness
the level of fitness that people are at will have a major impact on the sport they play, the level they play it at and how well they play it. certain people may have to improve their individual fitness levels in order to participate in their sports, this means that certain people will have to ensure that they have the ability to self motivate and stay motivated in order to do so.
