www.sportdevelopment.org.uk - re-launch

In September the www.sportdevelopment.org.uk website is being re-launched to www.sportdevelopment.info.

The updated site has a number of new sections, there is a section for jobs that is updated daily, a “what’s new” page so that you can see what has been added recently, and probably the most important new feature; a dynamic list of “related content” for each document that you view.

The site still has the "Ruff guides”, which give the students a broad overview of a topic and these have been extended, to include; a Ruff Guide to Football Research, Ruff guide to Olympic legacy, Ruff Guide to Playing to Win (2008) and a Ruff Guide to Talent Development .
