Policy Review: National Sports Development Policies and Their Impact on Grassroot Training

Abstract

This policy review critically examines national sports development policies and their tangible impacts on grassroots-level training and talent cultivation. Focusing on the strategic frameworks adopted by various governments, the paper analyzes how policy design, funding mechanisms, institutional structures, and community engagement influence the development of sports at the foundational level. Drawing upon case studies, statistical data, and comparative analysis, the review highlights both the successes and shortcomings of existing policies in promoting inclusive and sustainable grassroots sports ecosystems.
