Sport and Recreation Spatial
Background
• Investigating sport and recreation participation and
facilities, and health for evidence-based decision making
for the Sport and Recreation Sector
• Sport and Recreation Victoria
• VicHealth
• 7 State Sporting Associations 2011-2015
• Increasing to 11-15 State Sporting Associations 2015-2018
• Currently over 2.6 million participant records
• Integrated sector level reports, individual tailored sport
reports and peer-review publications
How do I view participant count?
How do I view participation rate by
gender & age?
How do I view participation change over
time?
Where do I find the region summary?
How do I benchmark regions?
How can I view the number of facilities for a
region for my sport?
Can I view actual facility locations?
What is SEIFA & what options are
available?
How can I find population projections?
Can I share the map with others?
Participation levels and rates
• Club membership for 5 major sports rose by more than 50,000 over three
years
• Increased from 417,975 to 468,944
• Proportion of population participating in these sports
• From 7.5% to 8.3% of population
• Males non-metro. highest participation rate 64%
• Increase 2010-2012 mainly non-metro.

Age profiles of registered sport participants:
percentage of total sport participants
• Most (64%) aged <20 years
• A third (28%) aged 10-14 years
• 20% aged 5-9 years
Transition
• More children withdrew from their
modified sport program rather than
transitioning
• 68% of children withdrew immediately
after the base year/season
• The peak age of transition to club
competition for females was 10 years,
compared to 7 years for males
Sports Facilities
• Participation rate is positively associated with provision of facilities

Editor's Notes

  1. The participant count is the default when you choose ‘map’ from home-page, but this screenshot shows how to find the map via the side menu. When parameters have been selected, load map.
  2. Click on a known region to produce this summary. Hovering over a region will give the region name and participant count only.
  3. This option copies the map image on screen. A print option is also available.
