“…The recognition of the limited research into the role of the parent in school-club links has been emphasised in the existing literature (Eime et al, 2013). This is a fundamental paradox when the process of supporting transition between school experiences into community is such a core component 25 of the sports development process (Bloyce and Smith, 2010;Collins, 2012;Eime et al, 2013).…”

The dynamics and culture of families are central to individual and community sport and physical activity participation. This research project examined the lived experiences and dayto-day realities of the London 2012 Olympics from the perspectives of five families in the East Midlands region of England. The aims of the project were to assess the influence the Games had on shaping family sports participation, influencing social and health relationships within the families through sports and reactions to the 2012 Olympics. The study was conducted through the generation of rich qualitative data from pre and post Games interviews as well as production of video diary data by the families and young people themselves to gather micro level information on the realities of 'legacy' for families. Findings from this research project illustrate that prior parental socialisation into sport shaped current attitudes to legacy and children and mothers and fathers had mixed reactions to the actual presence of legacy. There are also clear sports development challenges around accessibility, cost, project design, the non family-friendly nature of some schemes present during the potential consumption of legacy that have consequences for future research in this embryonic area.Implications from the study include the need to locate the family as a more central concern for policy makers in sports development practice. The study has questioned the assumed virtuous legacy of the London 2012 Games from the perspective of families on a day-to-day micro level. Instead, a far more complex and diverse picture from the perspective of the family has been presented that requires further critical research on this little explored topic of policy and practice in sports development.

“…The formulation and implementation of sport policy are complex processes (Bloyce and Smith 2010, Green and Houlihan 2005, Houlihan and White 2002. In relation to anti-doping, some idea of the complexity of these processes can be indicated simply by listing some of the key actors, who include representatives of WADA, the IOC, national and international federations, national anti-doping organizations, police and customs officers, coaches, doctors and thousands of athletes (Hanstad 2009, p. 36).…”

“…At the heart of this investment has been the objective of creating more opportunities for young people to participate in a wider range of sport and physical activity experiences; the promotion of a broader range of competitive opportunities in which young people can partake; the provision of more widespread access to coaching for young people to facilitate more enjoyable sporting engagement; and the generation of a network of opportunities that are external to the formal school curriculum by developing links between schools and community sports clubs (Bloyce & Smith 2010). …”
