What does the role of Support for an NGB typically include?

• A. Offering insurance and guidance to members
• B. Hosting a major sporting event negatives (economical)
• C. Jobs are only temporary (after event)
• D. Money taken away from more important things (before event)

Answer: (A)

Focusing on the support role means looking at how an NGB helps people participate and stay involved in the sport. Providing insurance and guidance to members is central to that idea. Insurance protects clubs and players from financial risk if something goes wrong, making participation safer and more feasible. Guidance covers information on rules, safety, safeguarding, coaching standards, and development opportunities, helping members know what to do and how to improve. These elements are about enabling ongoing participation and maintaining quality across the sport.

The other statements describe activities more related to running events or handling finances around events, not the ongoing support given to members and clubs. Hosting a major event and its economic impact, or temporary jobs tied to an event, or redirecting money before an event, aren’t about the day-to-day support role that helps people participate and stay involved.
