Difference between private sector public sector?

Public sector sports provision is that supplied by (usually local) government and includes such things as the local swimming baths, tennis courts in the local recreation ground, council football pitches, trim trails, community use of schools etc. The aim is to ensure that facilities in the local area conform to the council's guidelines and aims. They are provided to cover what is seen as a need in the local area, to fill what would otherwise be a gap in provision. Typically, the facilities are cheap or free and can vary quite widely in standard, some being quite basic.

The private sector is run by businesses who aim to make good profits from providing those sport facilities that they view can be profitable for their companies. Facilities are typically of a high standard and are at the upper end of the price range. In the best scenario, private sector facilities are part of the overall provision for the local area and are co-ordinated with other sectors.

Most sport in many areas comes from the voluntary sector in which the sport and leisure facilities are run for the members by the members and includes most local sport clubs
