Previous efforts to depict sport development resulted in the
participation pyramid. The participation pyramid, even though not
empirically derived, has shaped the thinking, conceptualizing, and
planning for sport development in various countries, including
Australia. As practices have evolved to epitomize more dynamic
processes than those reflected in the pyramid, this book examines
national sporting organisations' (NSOs) practices in Australia. The
three models presented in this book are the attraction,
retention/transition, and nurturing (ARTN) process and illustrate
the generic processes and strategies reported by thirty five NSOs.
The ARTN models show that each process requires human and financial
input from various stakeholders who initiate/implement strategies,
and each process has different outputs. The ARTN models demonstrate
that sport development is more complex and encompassing than
previously described. The analysis should shed some light on this
complex environment that sport development takes place and should
be especially useful to professionals in sport organisations, sport
development officers, sport managers, researchers and students.
