3. Building a world class sporting
system for everyone in Scotland
It’s been a fantastic four years for Scottish sport at every level — now it’s time to raise the bar.
We see a Scotland where sport is a way of life, where sport is at the heart of society, making a positive impact on people and communities.
Across Scotland, people are already working together to improve the links between schools, clubs and performance sport.
Our new corporate plan aims to build on these strong foundations to deliver improved outcomes for people in Scotland.
Our plan and explains our mission to build a world class sporting system for everyone in Scotland. By world class we mean being ambitious, and aspiring to be the best we can be at all levels in sport.
We know from consultation that partners are committed to this approach. So we’ll build the system by working together with a wide range of organisations, ensuring that the people of Scotland have the support they need to find the right path in their sporting lives.
This system will form a key part of the Scottish Government’s new Active Scotland Outcomes Framework — and help everyone in Scotland enjoy sport at every stage of life.
