National Governing Bodies It’s fine to know the answer but we need to write it showing our depth of knowledge. Correct terminology Reference previous knowledge Give examples Think of alternative points of view if asked for. AS P.E Contemporary Issues DTA

A: The DCMS distribute money to develop mass participation and sporting excellence which can go to National governing bodies. However, they may not all get the same amount due to some sports getting substantial funding from private sources. The FA gains money from sponsors and shirt sales so they don’t need a great deal of support compared to squash. So squash will receive more funding to support and develop the sport, for example creating programmes or developing provisions like more courts. AS P.E Contemporary Issues DTA
