The book presents important new studies of sports development around the world, illustrating the breadth of practice within and between countries, and examines the most important issues facing practitioners within sports development today, from child protection to partnership working.</p><p>With unparalleled depth and breadth of coverage, the <em>Routledge Handbook of Sports Development</em> is the definitive guide to policy, practice and research in sports development.
