The Sport Participation Research Project looks at sport participation trends from 2015–17 from 12 major Victorian state sporting associations, representing Australian football, basketball, bowls, cricket, football (soccer), golf, gymnastics, hockey, netball, sailing, swimming and tennis.
The research was carried out with collaboration from a range of state sporting associations, government, peak sporting organisations and universities.
This research outlines participation rates and trends by age group and geographical area, highlighting key insights and recommendations to inform decision-making and investments by state sporting associations, clubs and associations, policymakers and funders of sport participation and future research.
The 2016 research summary should be read in conjunction with the Sport participation in Victoria, 2015: Research Summary.
