Background history of project development
• VicHealth research practice fellowship- 2011-2015• Aim: Data analysis to inform growth in sport participation in Victoria• VicHealth, SRV, VicSport
• Spatial mapping of data• Helen Thompson, Paul Feely- Centre for eCommerce and Communications (UB)
• Aust. Sports Commission/VU collaborative partnership- 2012-2013• Funding for spatial mapping and statistical support
• Development of business plan- Competitive Edge 2013

• Sport and recreation facility data• Population demographics• Population projection data• Health data
Scope• Currently 8 Victorian State Sporting Associations • AFL• Basketball• Cricket• Football Federation• Hockey• Lawn Bowls• Netball • Tennis
Different levels of use• Organisations directly use the GIS to spatially
visualise and analyse – sector-wide data– their own data– derived and customised indicators
• Knowledge and evidence to inform program and policy developments
• Demonstration and training• Sector level research
Benefits• Centralised sport and recreation data repository• Collaborative project with sport, health, university and government sectors• Economic benefits of one data management and research system for sport and
recreation sector• Geographical Information System- spatially visualise and analyse data• Knowledge and evidence to inform program and policy development • Ability to respond in proactive rather than reactive manner• Integration of large datasets• Standardised data• Derived and customised indicators• Capacity building of sector through training workshops• Research capabilities• Translation and dissemination of sector-wide research
Benefits for sport sector• Participation and membership
– Participation trends, penetration and influences on participation• Player development
– Talent development trends and influences• Infrastructure
– Plan infrastructure development• Coach and umpire development
– Target coach and umpire development strategies• Marketing
– Understanding of participation and population and programs for targeted marketing
• Schools– Relationship between school based strategies and community participation
opportunities• Finance
– Where best to invest for player, coach, facility developments– Ability to evaluate investments
Benefit for Government• Quality data for the sport and recreation sector to make
informed program and policy decisions to grow participation• Consistency of data and data reporting across sector• Measure key objectives of growing sport participation• Nexus between participation and health• Focussing on partnership approaches• Ensuring a long term strategic approach applicable across

Collection of data• Reason for data collection– Membership collection– Insurance– Informing decisions – Internal and external reporting
• Good data in- good data out
Collection of data
• Accuracy of data– Single ID records
• How to achieve this?
– Complete data• How is data collected?– Individual versus club/team– Online participant systems– Integrated data management systems
• Player, coach and umpire• Within and between organisations
– Repeated collection of data –season/year• Turning data into knowledge
Data to be collected• Participant, coach and official/umpire• ID• Lowest common denominator• Date of birth
– Potential only collect once• Postcode• Residential address• Club(s)• Program
– Consistency- electronic drop-down• Year• Level of accreditation• Other target groups
Making the most of the data
• What do you do with your date?• What would you like to do with your data?
• Consistency– Collection, data management, reporting– Cubs, leagues, SSAs, NSO
• Cleaning data• Analyse based on priorities– What are they?
