The development of both elite, high performance sport and mass
participation, grassroots-level sport are central concerns for
governments and sports governing bodies. This important new study
is the first to closely examine the challenges and opportunities
for sports development in the United States, a global sporting
giant with a unique, market-driven sporting landscape. Presenting
an innovative model of integrated sports development, the book
explores the inter-relationship between elite and mass sport across
history, drawing on comparative international examples from
Australia to the former USSR and Eastern bloc countries. At the
heart of the book is an in-depth empirical study of three
(traditional and emerging) sports in the US - tennis, soccer and
rugby - that offer important lessons on the development of elite
sport, methods for increasing participation, and the establishment
of new sports in new markets. No other book has attempted to model
sports development in the United States in such depth before.
Therefore this should be essential reading for all students,
researchers, administrators or policy-makers with an interest in
sports development, sports management, sports policy, or
comparative, international sport studies.
