2.2.2 Sport Development The Department intends to focus on facilitating the transition from mass based programmes to high performance through coordinating and monitoring the important areas of talent identification and development as well as the delivery of scientific support to national development athletes. The development programmes would be supported by an effective national athlete tracking system. There should be regular programme impact assessment at various provincial spheres to assess the level of club development and talent identification. Furthermore the Department intends to roll out a national sport facilities plan. The sports facilities plan would enable the Department to monitor the use of facilities and ensure proper maintenance thereof.
