The Sports Liaison Committee assist and develop recognised sports on the Isle of Man through the Support for Sport framework, aligned with our Priorities and Objectives.
Isle of Man Sport have identified three Priorities and Objectives which it aims to achieve in partnership with the Island's Governing Bodies of Sport:
- Increase participation in sport across all levels from grass roots to elite;
- Improve and develop coaching, volunteering and officiating to enhance performance across all levels; and
- Improve governance of governing bodies of sport and member clubs.
The Sports Liaison Committee's function is to work with sports on the Island to make recommendations to the Isle of Man Sport Committee in relation to support and funding for these sports. For further information regarding funding, please read our Sports Liaison Funding Framework and Principles.
The Sports Liaison Officer reports to the Committee and is available to help sports with any queries they may have.
