Sussex Sports Development Officers

Sports Development Officers (SDOs) aim to provide opportunities for participation in sport for all sections of the community. They distribute information and organise sport-related projects, classes, programmes, coaching, club development and training for those who want to participate for fun and those who are interested in competition.

The central role of this profession is to increase participation in sport of all kinds, but SDOs also address issues of health, crime and social inclusion, often working with organisations such as health boards, schools, sports governing bodies and regeneration initiatives. They work in partnership with government bodies to deliver government initiatives relating to sport.
